Thank you very much. I've never heard them called that before.

I'm not sure why this didn't post before, but here is a link on PEG's in NJ, which are covered by the statewide franchise agreement.

»www.verizonnj.com/fttp/NJ/Import···ity_.pdf

There are clear instructions in there for the municipalities to follow. Also notice the fee paid based on gross subscriber revenues is 3.5%, whereas Comcast is about 2% down here. So that's a good deal for the municipality.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20940935 Tue, 12 Aug 2008 19:05:34 EDT Re: New PEGs in NJ http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20939614 CeeZee : I came from DirecTV and, of course, they weren't available on the satellite system either.

But in this area, historically Comcast ruled and they carried these local channels. When FiOS was negotiated in my township, a very hot topic was would they carry the PEGs. It took a long time (nearly a year) before they were finally carried on FiOS and this was a big issue. Some of the strongest criticism and flack towards granting FiOS approval was caused by their lack of immediate PEGs coverage. (You should have heard it ..."How would we know that school had been cancelled ?!?!?" "How will I know when the next township meeting is ?!??!!") If I look on my local township's web page, it still only lists the Comcast channels. To this day, some local people have been astounded that I'm happy with FiOS because of the trouble this single issue caused.

Very local political hot button.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20939614 Tue, 12 Aug 2008 14:44:38 EDT Re: New PEGs in NJ http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20939500 sashwa : Thank you very much.

Verizon had to run a fiber line from the street to a FIOS ONT box setup in the basement of the town municipal building.

They then ran lines from the ONT in the basement to our control room.
Their MPEG2 encoder was installed in our control room.

The MPEG2 encoder sends it's feed out via IP using an ethernet cable back to the ONT which sends it back to the VHO.

For us it took about 2 days to run the lines, since the building is a bit complex and one more day for them to come back and install the encoder.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20726143 Tue, 01 Jul 2008 12:52:19 EDT Re: New PEGs in NJ http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20724328 Roche1972 : I live in Summit, NJ and currently there are no PEG channels on FiOS TV yet.
