Does someone need to remind PC Magazine that FiOS trademarked term belonging to Verizon? |

So what should we call fiber optic services going to a home? Sounds to me like Verizon is going to have a hard time enforcing that trademark.

Verizon coined FiOS as a marketing name for the untrademarkable acronym, "FTTH". So, unless you're referring specifically to a Verizon-branded FTTH product, you should simply call it "FTTH".

And, given Verizon's horde of lawyers, they will probably try to prevent FiOS from becoming a "kleenex" or "xerox" typ of term.
