Verizon Adds DIRECTV to Consumer Bundle

Verizon Communications marketing DIRECTV services to its customers in Rhode Island. A wider rollout to New England and the mid-Atlantic states is planned for the coming months.


Verizon said a consumer choosing a service bundle with its unlimited all-distance calling, Verizon Online DSL and DIRECTV, can save over $240 a year, compared with a cable competitor's comparable bundle of calling, Internet access and entertainment.


Customers can order all Verizon and DIRECTV services by making a single call to Verizon. By mid-year, when the companies interconnect billing systems, all the services will appear on the Verizon bill. Verizon currently offers integrating billing of local and long-distance calling, Internet access and, in most areas, wireless services via its ONE-BILL option. http://www.verizon.comle
