Available in Rhode Island Yet?

[ScoBuck]

According to their web site, its not available in Rhode Island, but someone claims to have it that lives in Rhode Island. Is the website out of date?

FIOS internet is available in parts of RI. TV is not available as of yet. I think later this year TV will be allowed to be offered to customers.

Just did a quick search and found the PR confirming my post:

So how can Questioner get FiOS TV in zip code 02813 as he claims?

Easy, he is full of s***! Unless someone else can show me where FIOS TV was approved by RI DPUC. All I see is the application on the RI DPUC site:

http://www.ripuc.org/utilityinfo/cabletv/Docket_2007c.htm

Also no public hearings have even been held yet, they all happen after Mother's Day! http://www.ripuc.org/utilityinfo/cabletv/2007c_comphearNotice.pdf

Edit: Area 6 was applied for in 2006 but even by Verizon's own letter, they expect to offer TV service on or about June 5, 2007!

Final hearing to be held on area 6, May 17th, 2007!

So bottom line in RI, VZ currently has 0 Certificates of Authority to Operate, pending the May 17th vote.

Also Questioner is in service area 8, if his zip code is 02813. He is the same area as my aunt/uncle that live in S. Kingstown! I know they were in the process of running fiber last summer when I was up in that area. Based upon that, I still stick with my assertion that he is full of it, which doesn't surprise me based upon what I have seen posted on that person.

I guess moving is against the law?
