It remains uncertain how advanced Verizon's discussions are with media companies. One person familiar with the matter said the discussions were just beginning. The packages of content Verizon will somewhat like those license provided by Netflix Inc. and Amazon.com Inc. for their streaming services, which are mostly older movies or TV shows. This service will be available across the U.S. It is expected that it would break new ground for Verizon, whose landline-based Internet and video services are available only in specific parts of the country.
