Mitchell http://conservativedailynews.com/?p=32186 On Friday, Verizon wireless announced that it will no longer be adding a $2 fee to customers that wish to pay their  bill using the pay-by-phone or on the internet.

The “convenience fee” would have been waived for anyone that paid their bills by sending in the payment by mail or if a customer set up recurring payments that automatically deducted from their bank accounts.

The new fee brought out anger from customers especially since Verizon had recently experienced trouble keeping it’s 4G and activation networks working properly over the Christmas holiday.

The fee announcement and resultant consumer outrage was reminiscent of the Bank of America debit card fee and the scenario ended much the same way.

On Friday afternoon, Verizon said that they are no longer discussing the fee.

IRVING, Texas, Sept. 2, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — From the drama of high school football Friday night lights to the national stage at Darrell K. Royal – Texas Memorial Stadium, Verizon has Texas football covered for FiOS TV subscribers.

With the football season kicking off, Verizon is launching the FiOS1 High School Sports Widget exclusively for FiOS TV customers in the company’s Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex service area.  Through the FiOS1 High School Sports Widget, only FiOS TV is delivering on-demand high school sports news, stats, photos and video highlights for area schools through an enjoyable, informative TV-entertainment experience. The widget is the latest addition to a robust array of options on FiOS TV to enhance the viewing experience for high school, college and professional sports.

In addition, The Longhorn Network, offered by the University of Texas in conjunction with ESPN, is now available, in high definition and standard definition, to UT sports fans in Texas and across the nation who subscribe to Verizon FiOS TV.  The launch date on FiOS TV of the network — dedicated to all things UT, from sports to cultural events —  comes in time for the Sept. 3 Rice vs. Texas matchup.

The Longhorn Network also will be available in the near future online, on tablets and on smart phones to fans with a Verizon FiOS TV plan, making UT athletics and other programming easily available anywhere, anytime.

“Texans love football, and we are making the most of the immense capabilities of the FiOS network to deliver a unique gridiron experience for our customers,” said Shawne Angelle, president of operations for Verizon’s Texas region. “The new FiOS1 High School Sports Widget and the Longhorn Network will add to the already rich FiOS football viewing experience – from the stadium to the living room.”

More than 500,000 households in the company’s Dallas-Fort Worth FiOS service area can take advantage of the FiOS1 High School Sports Widget, which covers 38 area teams.  The widget is offered in conjunction with MaxPreps.com, the online high school sports leader and a CBSSports.com site.
