The National Advertising Division of the Better Business Bureau, acting on a complaint from Cablevision Systems Corp., has recommended that Verizon Communications Inc. modify or discontinue certain claims that its FiOS service offers superior sound and picture quality.img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/MultichannelBreakingNews/~4/466378256" height="1" width="1"/
If anything, Cablevision should go after E* for their DishHD product which, as of March 2008, contained absolutely zero HD channels. I supposed Cablevision should also go after vendors who use the terms "Best", "Most", and "Greatest" too!
Perhaps Cablevision should spend more of their time and money making better products and less of it on lawyers and marketing pogues.
Verizon director of media relations, said: “We’re not surprised that Cablevision would attempt to prevent Verizon from bringing the facts about FiOS TV to the attention to consumers … Rather than compete on the merits of the service we offer, Cablevision hopes to prevent consumers from getting the facts, and the fact is that Verizon FiOS offers “the best TV picture, period’.”
It is also unfortunate that groups like the BBB, Consumer's Reports, and C/Net can be bought by any vendors (aka Sponsor) forking over enough cash in order to receive a favorable review or action.
