> HAMBURG, N.Y., April 8, 2008 /PRNewswire/ – It’s official! Residents of the Village of Hamburg are a major step closer to having a real choice for their cable television service, thanks to a newly approved agreement authorizing Verizon to offer its FiOS TV service, delivered over the most advanced fiber-optic network straight to customers’ homes. > Hamburg granted a video franchise to Verizon Monday night (April 7), becoming the first municipality in western New York to do so and paving the way for video choice in the community. This vote by the Hamburg Board of Trustees – and a similar positive franchise vote in the Village of Roslyn Estates Monday night – bring to 104 the total number of New York communities that have approved video franchises for Verizon.
