Verizon launches its industry-leading FiOS TV service in the greater Portland area. With the launch of its video service in Oregon, Verizon now offers FiOS TV in 13 states. Verizon delivers FiOS TV over the nation's largest digital, all-fiber network, which has earned certification from the independent Fiber to the Home Council for providing fiber all the way to customers' homes.

The launch of FiOS TV in the state makes a broad range of programming choices and superior picture quality available to 152,000 Oregon households initially, representing 410,000 potential viewers, where FiOS voice and Internet service are already available.

With the immediate availability of FiOS TV to customers in Aloha, Beaverton, Cornelius, Dundee, Durham, Hillsboro, King City, McMinnville, Newberg, Tigard, Tualatin and Wilsonville (and Forest Grove and Sherwood later this month), Verizon intends to compete even more aggressively against the local cable provider for customers.
