Verizon gets OK for FiOS TV in Ashland, Plymouth

Verizon Communications Inc. said that the boards of selectmen in Ashland and Plymouth have granted cable franchises for its FiOS TV service.

Verizon also said that it has made FiOS TV service available to residents in North Andover, where it received a cable TV franchise license June 2.

As a result of these actions, there are now 74 Massachusetts communities where FiOS TV service is either already available or soon will be, Verizon said.

Headquartered in New York, Verizon delivers broadband and other wireline and wireless services to mass market, business, government, and wholesale customers.
