"Verizon's CTO Mark Wegleitner said at NXTcomm the telco is upgrading its FiOS network to GPON (gigabit passive optical network) over the next 3-4 years and will quadruple its bandwidth to deliver 100 Mbps service to any device in the home, reports CNET. Other tidbits: Verizon's TR-69 remote management system will fix set-top problems from afar; Verizon plans to migrate more video services onto IP over the next 3-4 years, which will eventually run solely over an IP network, much like AT&T's offering today; and HDVOD is launching "in a matter of months" and is now being tested in Verizon's labs."
