Why is FIOS TV not available in League City, TX?

League City has had FIOS internet for years but no TV is in sight.  Customer service told me it was because there is no local franchise agreement, but that is handedled by the state and not our local city goverment.   Other verizon territories in Texas have it so I'm not sure why we would not.  The few local techs I have talked with have said that something is close.  I know many in my area, many people went with comcast because of the lack of TV.  I'm sure many would switch over if FIOS TV was avaiable.

From what I understand Texas took that decision away from local officials over 10 years ago.  The state grants the local franchise agreement.  I guess I could check with my local state rep.  When we first got FIOS the tech said there was some additional infrastructure needed and maybe verizon doesn't want to use the capital for it.  Especially with the proposed "over the top" LTE solution supposedly coming within a year.

  • Why is the app not available for my device?

    I've no problem using BT wifi on my device (Nook BNTV400) so why is the app not available for that device? It's not like the nook is proprietory, everything else I've tried to find in the play store works fine.
    Is the apk available for download direct from bt?

    if you can connect to btwifi without the app then I wouldn't bother trying to find the apk file
    if you have an android smartphone then you can download the app and get the apk file to sideload on to your nook

  • Why Lumia710 is "update not available" for "Taiwan...

    I bought Lumia710 in Taiwan, I think Nokia also sold many 710 for Taiwan people.
    But why Lumia710 is update not available for Taiwan users ?
    We also need new features and further enhancements to the Nokia Lumia710 in Taiwan.
    We waiting for
    Latest Windows Phone operating system (Note. This is not WP 7.8 yet.)
    Internet sharing (Wi-Fi Hotspot) — Share your phone's internet connection over Wi-Fi with up to five other devices or computers.
    Flip to silence — Silence incoming calls by turning your phone face down.
    Fix to prevent the volume of the ringtone temporarily increasing (Lumia 800 specific)
    Download new apps from Marketplace, such as camera extras, including smart group shot and self-timer, Contacts share, and Play To, a DLNA app for showing your content wirelessly.
    Usability and performance improvements.
    Additionally Camera Extras (incl. smart group shots, panorama, action shots, etc.) will be available from the Marketplace plus other new imaging apps (like Citylens).
    But just only Taiwan's Lumia710 users got update not available in Asia pacific.
    It is mean : Latest version of software update will not be launched for this product code and/or country.
    So anybody can answer me ? Tell me why ? Why without Taiwan users ?
    Best Regards,
    Kevin

    Dear Kevinluh, Welcome to the Nokia Forums!
    I understand your frustration, however update availability can vary depending on Region and carrier, this is because some regions and carriers may not have signed off the update or have policies preventing the update occuring.
    We hope you understand, please get in touch with your local Nokia Care line for more information regarding the update.
    Regards
    Sheldrick

    Mozilla will not be releasing a 64 bit Windows version of Firefox 4. They are creating 64 bit builds for testing purposes, but there will not be an official 64 bit Windows version until some time after Firefox 4 is released.

  • Why are certains applications not available in South African App Store?

    Why are certain applications such as Google Earth, Google Mobile App, and most games not available in the South African App Store.
    We speak English so localisation should not be a problem.
    I'm sure there are no legal reasons why these applications are not available here, as we have desktop equivalents for most of them.
    Why does South Africa have to have a diminished iPhone experience?

    No idea.
    You would have to ask Apple and/or the company that makes the app and/or - most likely - the Government of your country.
    I'm sure Apple and the app developer would love to sell more apps.
    Since this is a user forum, made up of iphone users, like you - there is nothing we can do about it.
    Sorry.

  • Why is bones season7 not available this year.

    I am wondering if anyone knows why there isn't a season pass this year for Bones Season 7... any clues?

    Sorry, but no one here will know why any content is not available in the iTunes Store. Apple never makes statements that I've ever seen, so unless the show's network or owner says something, we just can't know. There could well be contractual issues between the talent and the producers, or the producers and the network, an exclusive deal signed with some other online provider, or any number of other reasons. Your guess is as good as ours.
    Regards.

  • Why is Mountain Lion not available for Mac Pro 2007???

    Why is Mountain Lion not available for Macpro 2007 eventhough this computer is not having old generation hardware like of 15years ago's computers!! I am surprised to know about that. when this mac pro have 2 xeon processor, 8GB ram, OS 10.7.5 (Lion) etc etc. so why is this not compatible for mountain lion???
    Very Sad for us - the buyer of so costly Macpro ....
    so does the Apple want to say we should buy or upgrade our purchased costly apple products every 5 years ??!!

  • Why is iTunes Match not available in India

    Can anyone tell me why match is not available in India.

    Michael is correct.  While iTunes Match has been rolled out in many countries, India certainly is not the only country where it is not yet available.

  • Why is disk optimization not available on our Surface with 8.1?

    We have a Surface with Windows 8.1 RT.  When I go to the Tools and try to Optimize (trim) the SSD it says "Optimization not available" and the Analyze and Optimize buttons are greyed out.  I've seen posts where others are able to optimize
    their drives, so what am I missing in this case.  I checked the Services for Optimization and it was set to manual, but even when turning it on at startup automatically it makes no difference.  Any ideas on how to optimize on the Surface? 
    Why is the option available if you can't use it?

    This is normal for SSD.
    Do some reading here:
    Should You Defrag an SSD?
    How to Use "Optimize Drives" to Defrag HDD and TRIM SSD in Windows 8 and 8.1
    S.Sengupta, Windows Entertainment and Connected Home MVP
    S. Sengupta, I think you are missing the point of my original post.  Of course I know you don't defrag an SSD.  But you can optimize them using Trim.  I have two other notebooks running Windows 8.1 and both have the ability to optimize the
    SSDs as shown in the screenshot AnaBna posted.  This is not normal behavior for the options to be greyed out, and only our Surface with 8.1 RT exhibits this behavior.  Possibly this IS normal for a Surface, and if there is anyone else out there with
    a Surface (regular, not Pro) willing to look they can tell me if theirs is also un-optimizable.  The only thing that makes me think other's with a Surface can optimize is that when I searched for a solution to this others mention they can do this on their
    Surface. 
    I say this with all respect, but I think sometimes on this forum people just fire off answers very quickly without really reading the whole question or knowing the answer just to get credit for posts and points.
