Verizon Commits to FiOS 3D TV
Posted in: hdtv, Today's Chili, verizon
Verizon jumped on the 3D TV bandwagon on Friday, announcing support for a 3DTV package that will launch before the 2010 holiday season.
The company said that the service will complement its existing standard-definition and HD services along its FiOS network, which totals about three million subscribers, most of them in the Northeast.
But Verizon also sounded the first notes in what could be a battle for content, complaining that early 3d broadcast rights were priced too high for its business.
“We’re monitoring the early sales of
3D TVs and expect to announce a 3D offering well in advance of the
holiday TV-shopping season, when 3D television sales will expand,” Shawn Strickland, vice president of FiOS product management for Verizon, said in a statement on Friday.
