Verizon

Support Video Choice in Northborough

Verizon is bringing the most advanced fiber optic network in the nation directly to the doors of homes in Northborough. Our FiOS network contains enough bandwidth to offer video, Internet and voice services to all Northborough residents in the very near future. However, to take advantage of FiOS TV, in addition to FiOS Internet and phone service, the Board of Selectmen must grant Verizon a cable TV license.   

The Northborough Board of Selectmen have scheduled a public hearing to discuss and vote on the video license. The hearing will be held on Monday, July 21 at 7:00 p.m. in the Selectmen's Meeting Room, Floor 2  at Northborough Town Hall, 63 Main St., Route 20. We hope that you can attend and voice your support.

Once a license is issued, Northborough residents will join consumers in over 70 other Massachusetts communities who have FiOS TV as a superior choice for cable service.  If you are interested in more cable competition and everything our FiOS technology offers, please send an email directly to the town officials asking them move quickly through the cable TV licensing process. A sample letter is provided for your convenience. Please add personal information and comments to customize your letter, if you prefer.

For more information, please contact Stephanie Lee at stephanie.s.lee@verizon.com.

 

Thank you!

 

Sample Letter for Campaign

Subject: We need the benefits of cable competition

Dear [ Decision Maker ] ,

As a local resident, I am writing to ask the Board of Selectmen to move quickly to bring Northborough consumers another choice for cable TV.

Verizon is building its advanced fiber optic network right here in town. The network, which brings fiber optic TV, Internet and telephone connections right into our living rooms, is the best in the nation. Today, Massachusetts residents in nearly 70 communities are benefiting from cable choice and the future of technology.

Northborough is fortunate to be selected as one of the next communities that Verizon is bringing this state-of-the-art network to. Thank you in advance for your leadership in bringing Northborough residents the benefits of cable competition and FiOS. We hope you'll move quickly to approve a license.

Sincerely,

Campaign Launched:
April 18, 2008
