Greetings!

Thank you for your support of Verizon’s efforts to provide FiOS TV service in parts of east Multnomah County!

More than 100 Verizon advocates attended a public hearing of the Mt. Hood Cable Regulatory Commission on September 15. And scores of you signed our online petition in favor of cable choice and competition.

Your enthusiasm for cable choice and competition in Fairview, Gresham, Troutdale, Wood Village and east county impressed our elected leaders and got the attention of local media. Both the Oregonian and the Gresham Outlook newspapers covered the hearing in detail.

Here’s where we stand:

At its Oct. 2 meeting, the commission adopted a recommendation that Verizon work directly with the communities to complete the remaining terms of the franchise.  That work is underway and we hope to have final franchise agreements before City Councils as soon as possible.

Your help is still needed!

Tell your friends and family to visit www.verizon.com/or and sign our online petition*.  This is a fast and efficient way to ensure our elected leaders hear from you on this important franchise.

Watch your e-mail.  We will update you on our progress.

Thanks again for taking a stand in favor of cable TV choice in east county!

* These petitions are intended for residents of these specific communities only. If you do not live in any of the cities listed, please sign up for news and updates.
