Verizon expands video-on-demand bank
Telco locks up 24,000 video titles and has plans to add more content providers in coming months
As over-the-top video players and, to some degree, cable TV providers are facing new challenges to expanding their content libraries or multi-screen distribution efforts, Verizon Communications announced this week that it has increased monthly availability of FiOS TV video-on-demand titles to about 24,000.

The telco said that about 15,000 of the titles in its VoD library are available for free, and about 3,800 are available in HD. The announcement comes as OTT efforts and multi-screen forays, such as iPad TV viewing, have taken attention away from more standard VoD offerings.
Not to be left behind in the multi-screen game, Verizon already has its own iPad TV efforts underway. It also has VoD titles available through FiOS TV Online, which has about 3,000 titles, and the Flex View application for mobile devices, which launched last fall and carries about 2,300 titles.
The telco also said it is working on bringing content from another dozen content providers to its VoD library in the months ahead. The VoD announcement comes just days after Verizon unveiled new features for the FiOS TV media guide.
