Verizon: "We're Number Three!"

We now have Verizon and AT&T's Q3 2007 numbers for their fiber-based television services. FiOS TV now has 717,000 subscribers (a net increase of 200,000 over Q2), and U-verse TV now has 126,000 subscribers, a substantial jump from Q2.

With Verizon’s announcement that subscribers to its FiOS TV service now exceed 700,000, it now claims third place among worldwide telcos deploying a broadband-based multi-channel television service, only behind France Telecom in Europe and PCCW in Hong Kong.
