September 22nd, 2009

Verizon launched enhancements to its FiOS TV’s Facebook and Twitter widgets, free interactive social TV applications that were just added to its service. With the updates, people who sign up to FIOS television can mail Tweets. (mini blogs in text format posted to real-time, social network media) and use Facebook with a keyboard on the screen.

. The company is raising its efforts in adding new functionalities to improve customer experience of social networking using FiOS TV. Fresh features will help users connect with other FiOS TV subscribers.

The Widget marked the new age for FiOS TV, including internet video, sports channels and social networking websites. The plan of this initiative is to give additional features and applications for FiOS TV subscribers. Verizon will soon launch “The Widget Bazaar” for the third-party software developers under revenue-sharing agreements.

Triple Play looks to be a hot subject, almost cable TV operators are endorsing it, but despite the intensely competing and challenging market place, Verizon could stand the competition and offers the same bundle with having a more sophisticated feature that no cable provider could compete with

A key part of Verizon’s long range development plans are focused on FiOS TV and FiOS internet services. The company continues to expand its area of coverage where they could offer FiOS TV. Number of FiOS TV subscribers are doing well too, as reflected in the reliable growth in the last two quarters. Verizon, after the second quarter of 2009 gathered million of subscribers. Verizon will surely compete with other telco like AT&T and Sprint once they increase their FiOS coverage and fully upgrade their present wireless system that will offer 4G capabilities.
