Verizon FiOS continues to dabble in 3D program offerings to whet subscribers’ appetites, but is still mum on plans for a formal 3D offering. Shawn Strickland, vice president of FiOS product management for Verizon, said in April that the company plans to have a formal 3D offering for subscribers by the holiday season, and a spokeswoman told us last week that Verizon is sticking with those plans. Meantime, Verizon is showing a 3D episode from Wealth TV on its video-on-demand channel. The 3D “Wealth on Wheels Classic,” is being shown exclusively on FiOS, the company said. Verizon also showed both games of YES Network’s recent 3D experiment with New York Yankees baseball and has offered several movies in 3D over the past few months, the spokeswoman said. “These are additional opportunities for us to show our subscribers with 3D TVs what it’s all about, especially with FiOS quality,” she said. She said the FiOS VOD channel is available for free to 70 percent of the FiOS subscriber base.
