We've been hearing that Verizon for a very long time has been eager to expand well beyond traditional FiOS voice and TV -- and into additional services that can be integrated with FiOS like home automation and home security. According to CNET such services will finally drop later this year, but there's no hard date or pricing details to be had as of yet. The goal is that everything's driven by remote servers (aka the "cloud") -- so that users can access a multitude of details from any Internet connected device. For example, users ideally could use their smartphone to manage home energy consumption and check your security cameras -- though there's a lot of specifics to see ironed out and implementation will be key.
