Verizon FiOS TV: IP Migration Enables Multi-Device Consumption

Verizon executive Joe Ambeault says there are some clear multi-device implications for migrating Verizon FiOS TV to IP delivery.

Consumers watching traditional FiOS TV should never see a difference, but by transitioning to IP, Verizon will have an opportunity to deliver its television service to a wide range of web-connected gadgets in the form of an app.

In other words, FiOS TV could become another service a consumer can buy in an app store, accessible across multiple screens and delivery platforms. In theory, consumers could even bring their own broadband to the table (FiOS or otherwise) and just layer FiOS TV on top, some might argue.
