NEW YORK Most city households now have only one cable provider: Time
Warner, which covers Manhattan, Queens, western Brooklyn and Staten
Island; or Cablevision, which serves the Bronx and eastern
Brooklyn. Verizon would offer cable service in all five boroughs.
Verizon must next obtain approval from the state Public Service
Commission.
Time Warner Cable and Cablevision are now set to begin
negotiations with the city to renew their existing contracts.
Verizon's agreement was approved Tuesday by the city's Franchise
and Concession Review Committee.
