This week's FiOS TV roundup is all about milestones, first up is FiOS TV itself, which Verizon reported in its 2Q 2009 highlights has added 300,000 subscribers to a total of 2.5 million. Also notable is that it's been a year since FiOS was first operating in New York City, and, for those apartment dwellers still missing out, there's new technology on the way that might bring it to your residence even faster. Still, if FiOSTV isn't ready where you live but DirecTV is, there's a new bundle that could help you same some dough, while Hull, Massachusetts nabs the lone shoutout, as it granted Verizon a cable franchise last week.

Even with an extra week, there's not much to mention in this Verizon FiOS TV roundup, although we're sure the people of Rancho Cucamonga and Fontana would beg to differ, with service recently made available to those areas. In other news, Verizon was apparently pleased by the Senate approval of new FCC commissioners Mignon Clyburn and Meredith Baker, though what this means for increased broadband (and HDTV) rollout, we'll have to wait and see.

It's been a slow couple of weeks in FiOS TV rollouts, but Parrish, Florida has been announced as the latest community on the list. Perhaps Verizon was distracted by its MSG tiff, but that didn't stop the company from pushing forward for access in Massachusetts and backing an act introduced to ensure people with disabilities have access to IPTV as well.

Nothing spectacular recently in FiOS TV expansion news, but we're sure East Syracuse, North Syracuse and Cicero New York residents are happy to be included in the communities that have reached franchise agreements to allow for upcoming service rollouts. Of course, upgraded internet speeds and related free netbook / camcorder / Entourage promotions are nothing to shake a stick at, so for those who survived the DTV transition intact, there is something new to look forward to beyond a few new local channels in Long Island and New Jersey.

FiOS TV expansions continued as usual this week, with two new areas in New York signing up for the service as Verizon made note of its infrastructure investments in the area, and the company switched on access in Marblehead, Mass. Otherwise, there was a note about the VOD offerings (no mention of 1080p,) but not much else this week.
