| Widgets rm'd from non-net bundles Surprised that I didn't see any comments about this.
Friend of mine has only TV and Phone (FDV) for several yrs now. He's not a computer person.
He recently told me that FiOS has removed the widgets from those who DO NOT subscribe to a inet pkg.
I thought at first maybe he was mistaken, that some foul up was occurring with his equipment (he still has a 6416 dvr), but he indeed actually got a letter from VZ stating as much before hand, and he does not have axs to any widgets.
That was a surprising move on VZ's part IMHO. |

kudos:8 | Makes sense. Except for guide data, VOD, and STB/DVR management, all of which come from VZ servers, internet access by a widget to a non-VZ server should be restricted to internet subscribers.
Another incentive to spend more. Yay.  |
