Verizon Unveils Their ‘TV Everywhere’ Plans – FiOS TV and Internet users get access to TBS, TNT content
Of course Verizon doesn’t want to offer this content to just their Internet customers — lest they cannibalize their own TV revenues. According to the company, access to this content via mobile devices is something that’s in the works.
Verizon this week unveiled their plans to join the cable industry’s “TV Everywhere” initiative — which involves offering paying TV customers (only) the ability to watch some paywalled content online. The industry believes the idea will help them prevent “cord cutters” — or those who turn to Internet video as an alternative to those now often bi-annual TV rate hikes. Verizon says their TV Everywhere offering will arrive in June, and will initially include access to all TNT and TBS shows — assume you subscribe to both FiOS Internet and TV:
