There is also no deadline for applicants, “the solicitation is non-exclusive and open-ended.” However, only Verizon is expected to seek a franchise. The company hopes to obtain one by year-end. You are dealing with government - which means SLOW. City council OK'd this in 2006. The city admin delayed until now. And Verizon won't get its franchise agreement until year end.

Hingham, MA | With the possibility of a franchise now near definite, they'll probably start deploying more fiber before then and just offer internet and phone until they get the right to offer TV, so they can offer that right away. |

Jerk -_-, Just when I was getting excited over the Speeds and 'possible' availability you had to go and ruin it. I'm kidding though but it sucks we have to wait this long to get it I just want more upload. :/ |

VZ will be able provide FiOS internet to the masses of NYC before TV. The franchise agreement is only for TV, I believe. They are getting permits etc just to wire right now. Whoever said it would be awhile before anyone sees it was right. |
