Calls on Broadcasters to Support Verizon's Franchise Reform

LAS VEGAS, April 18 /PRNewswire/ -- Consumers will have a compelling
alternative to cable television when Verizon enters the video market
later this year with FiOS TV, Ivan Seidenberg, the chairman and CEO
of Verizon, told the National Association of Broadcasters today.

"FiOS will change the competitive landscape in the video marketplace,
both now and in the future. From Day One, we'll offer a new
technology, a new business model and a new customer experience,"
Seidenberg said.

Speaking at the NAB's national convention, Seidenberg called on
broadcasters to help break down "the biggest barrier" to Verizon's
entry into video: the requirement that Verizon obtain a second
franchise from local authorities, in addition to the one the company
already has, to carry video on its fiber networks.
