Verizon is the latest media giant to bring its wares to the iPad. TV on your iPad isn’t anything revolutionary in itself (just yesterday we reported on HBO’s new service, which will offer on-demand content to the ‘Pad, among other devices). But Verizon’s new service is new in one major aspect: The content will be live.
It’s TV you can carry around and play Tetris on during the commercials.
Verizon’s live TV app is scheduled for release sometime next year and will be available to all Verizon FIOS customers. The company doesn’t plan to charge extra for the app and hopes to offer a full suite of live TV. Some rights issues will relegate viewing to within the reach of a Wi-Fi connection already associated with a FIOS account. However, Verizon hopes to extend the viewing privileges beyond the borders of your home network. The company also hopes to make the live TV app available on other devices.
