While Verizon currently offers fiber to the home, FiOSTV is a coaxial/fiber hybrid. Last year, I remember Verizon's Terry Denson saying the company would be moving to an all-IP network within three years (http://www.corpsman.com/shownews/87849). Ideally, this conserves bandwidth, given Verizon wouldn't have to be delivering oodles of bandwidth to a customer's home if the computer and TVs are off (I've discussed how cable's answer to this is switched digital video (http://www.corpsman.com/shownews/74811)). But now, Light Reading (http://www.lightreading.com/document.asp?doc_id=154049) is reporting that the company is in no rush to go pure IPTV, given they're perfectly happy with their existing model. So how about some new HD channels (http://www.corpsman.com/forum/r20451550-26-new-HD-channels-for-FiOS-TV-by-the-end-of-July~days=10)?
