Verizon struts its FiOS stuff

The Verizon technology boys (and girls) last week showed off what the new order will look like as it demoed a house with all the FiOS bells and whistles. Significantly, much of the intelligence and smarts was sitting in the network. This included presence, service intelligence and applications such as games. Chief Technology Officer Mark Wegleitner said the real power of applications come from "cooperative processing and cooperative activity between the network and the devices at consumers' homes."

A big issue for all telcos is who is going to manage many of the new high access applications that will be in homes as supper fast networks become the norm. "Today, you almost need an IT geek in the family," said Tushar Saxena, director of home networking technologies. "We will be your IT geek."

So what does the FiOS home of the future look like? IM and gaming everywhere; presence technologies to identify who is doing what; Smart advertising; security, and of course multimedia able to be delivered any where any time.
