State OKs Verizon Fios fiber-optic cable service for part of Brookhaven
John Valenti, newsday.com
Five months after Town of Brookhaven officials voted unanimously to add fiber-optic cable service availability in about one-third of the town, the state has signed off on the deal — approving the move in a confirmation hearing last week in Albany.
The Public Service Commission order grants Verizon Fios rights to operate in the town for the next five years, with future expansion of service possible in the not-too-distant future.
