Verizon Under the Wire; Dodges CableCARD Deadline

Interesting development, I’m curious how Verizon customers feel about this. Are they content with it since there’s really not much cable card devices now, and then they have all those digital channels to look forward to (*cough* in 2009), or just mad that they get to stall even longer?

 It’s been interesting to watch the clock run down on Verizon. The company has been steadfast in its belief that a waiver was coming, but analysts were starting to show skepticism. The set-tops that Verizon uses for its FiOS TV deployments are Motorola boxes, but they’re different from the hardware Motorola sells to cable companies. With no order in for a “host” version of the Verizon set-tops, it’s unclear what the operator would have done if the FCC hadn’t handed out the 11th-hour reprieve.
