Verizon has launched a co-branded movie downloading service in partnership with the studio-backed Movielink service.
Verizon will integrate Movielink with its consumer DSL and fiber-fed FiOS high-speed data service.
Verizon hopes to use Movielink and special offers delivered through the partnership to differentiate the telco’s broadband services. How much differentiation the partnership will achieve is questionable, however, considering the fact that Movielink has already penned similar agreements with Time Warner Cable ‘s Road Runner service, Charter Communications, BellSouth and SBC Communications, among others.
