Northborough OK's Verizon FiOS TV

Verizon Communications Inc. said today that the board of selectmen in Northborough has granted the company a cable franchise for its Verizon FiOS TV service.

As a result of that action, residents in 78 Massachusetts communities either already have Verizon FiOS as a TV option or soon will have, Verizon said.

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