By Chris Reidy, Boston Globe staff | June 27, 2007

The board of selectmen in Bedford granted a cable franchise Tuesday for the FiOS TV service offered by Verizon Communications Inc., Verizon said today.

The action paves the way for the FiOS TV service to become available to 4,300 households, Verizon said.

The Bedford's board unanimous vote brings to 50 the total number of Massachusetts communities where FiOS TV is either available or soon will be, the company said; to date, the service is available to roughly 280,000 Massachusetts households.

Headquartered in New York, Verizon delivers broadband and other wireline and wireless communications services to business, mass market, government, and wholesale customers.
