NEW YORK (AP) - Verizon Communications Inc. recently signed up its millionth subscriber to its residential fiber-optic service, FiOS.
FiOS subscribers get telephone and broadband Internet service. In some areas, they also get cable television, depending on local franchise approval; Verizon said Wednesday it has nearly 500,000 TV subscribers.
Verizon launched FiOS in August 2004, and the million-subscriber milestone results from relatively steady growth. In the first three months of this year, the company added 177,000 FiOS subscribers for a total of 864,000, so the latest figures don't appear to represent a speedup of deployment.
