"When will the idiots at the NYC Dept of Technology let VZ turn the TV on already?!?"
When the TWC lobbyists are no longer welcome there! There are all sorts of rumors about secret deals to allow Verizon to offer service, BUT as long as TWC fights to prevent them for getting a franchise agreement, it delays the process. TWC wants to stick it to NYers (especially Manhattan with higher rates for far, far less content than the other boroughs) for as LONG as they can get away with it. With satellite and IOTA mostly unavailable in manhattan, they truly have a very captive audience, so they can stick it to them with little consequence.
I am convinced that they also figure to let up when Verizon GETS it's franchise AND is farther along in laying fiber. I'm sure they think everyone will forget how much they stuck it to their customers because they COULD stick it to them. All I can say is that 100% I am GONE as a TWC customer as soon as I can get FIOS triple play.
“The other one is a biggie, and it's something very noticeable in the videos: touch sensitivity is pretty bad. Using the virtual keyboard proved to be far too painful, and we're pretty sure it wasn't multitouch-friendly.”
