Damascus next Oregon town to receive FiOS TV

by Darren Murph, posted Jun 4th 2008 at 10:04PM

You downtown Portland residents must be cringing right now. Shortly after Happy Valley received word that FiOS TV was on the way, yet another locale on the outskirts of town is getting the same notification. Damascus is one step closer to having yet another option when it comes to programming, as the City Council voted to grant Verizon a cable franchise just this week. At this rate, the entire city of Portland will be surrounded with this stuff in a matter of months, but we all know how Verizon is about infiltrating actual metropolises.

Since most of Portland proper is being served by Quest, I highly doubt VZW is in any hurry to lay fiber and provide service in the area. All the areas receiving FIOS have been served by Verizon previously.
