The program is meant exclusively for FiOS DVR set-tops, and lets users listen to iTunes music on a TV, including specified playlists.

The provider told BBR that while it had originally predicted covering 65 percent of its subscribers with the added speed by the end of this year, it now expects to reach 80 percent in the same timeframe. The next area to get a DOCSIS 3.0 upgrade should be... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/08/06/comcast.doc.3.ahead.sched/ Thu, 06 Aug 2009 21:50:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/07/30/time.warner.cable.wimax/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0801/timewarnercable.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Time Warner Cable has recently reported its earnings for the second quarter, which revealed an unexpected increase in profit of about 4 percent. At the same time, the cable company's CEO, Glenn Britt, told attendees that mobile WiMAX is coming soon from the provider. Britt promised more details are forthcoming, but went on record to say that a mobile broadband network will be released in the fall,... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/07/30/time.warner.cable.wimax/ Thu, 30 Jul 2009 14:30:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/07/15/widget.bazaar.now.out/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0907/verizonbazaarintro.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Subscribers to Verizon's fiber optic Internet and cable service, FiOS, now have access to the Widget Bazaar, which lets them check out Twitter apps and log onto Facebook right on their TVs. Users won't be able to post Twitter updates or view their friends' pages, as the young version of the app only allows users to get updates on what they're watching and standard community Twitter updates. The Tw... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/07/15/widget.bazaar.now.out/ Wed, 15 Jul 2009 17:25:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/06/22/verizon.fios.35mbps.tier/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0906/fiberoptic.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Verizon today ramped up FiOS with speed upgrades for all its regular tiers as well as the addition of a new middle tier. A new 35Mbps plan offers a balance between more typical speeds and the 50Mbps maximum tier; it also has the same 20Mbps upload speeds as the previous symmetric 20/20 tier and the 50Mbps service; the speed would let it upload an hour-long 720p HDTV show in 20 minutes.

The US capital has the same 50Mbps peak downloads and 10Mbps peak uploads as other areas but has had the price of the service drop substantially, down $40 to $100 per month. It's not specified whether the cut applies just to the Washington area or if other regions also receive the price... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/06/09/comcast.50mbps.in.wash.dc/ Tue, 09 Jun 2009 17:45:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/04/30/twc.going.docsis.30.in.09/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0904/timewarner.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />At an earnings conference on Wednesday, Time Warner Cable COO Landel Hobbs said that the cable provider will begin using the newer, multi-channel DOCSIS 3.0 standard to provide Internet and data access to homes and businesses this summer, although it will be limited to New York City only.
