 More residents of Newport News are a step closer to having choice for their cable television services, thanks to a vote by the Newport News City Council Tuesday night (June 12) authorizing Verizon to offer its fiber-optic-powered FiOS TV.
The cable franchise covers more than 70,000 households in the city. Verizon currently offers FiOS TV to more than 8,200 households in Newport News and will expand service availability to more households over the next several years.
Verizon began offering FiOS TV in Newport News in late April under the "ordinance franchise" rules in a new law passed last year to accelerate choice and competition for cable television services. The negotiated franchise approved by the City Council will be effective retroactively to April 18.

 A 27-year-old man described as one of the world's most prolific spammers was arrested Wednesday, and federal authorities said computer users across the Web could notice a decrease in the amount of junk e-mail.
"He's one of the top 10 spammers in the world," said Tim Cranton, a Microsoft Corp. lawyer who is senior director of the company's Worldwide Internet Safety Programs. "He's a huge problem for our customers. This is a very good day." A federal grand jury last week returned a 35-count indictment against Soloway charging him with mail fraud, wire fraud, e-mail fraud, aggravated identity theft and money laundering.
