Verizon chose CES week to launch a more customized pricing model for Fios TV. The new structure enables customers to select channels and services they want in their TV package, and eliminates expenses including regional sports fees and video franchise fees. All packages in the new Mix & Match plan, which evolves the service closer to a la carte, include local broadcast nets such as ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox, Telemundo and Univision. Verizon says the plan, which signals an end to its “triple play” bundle of phone, data and TV, may end up being more expensive for some subscribers.
