State regulators have given Verizon Communications final approval to begin offering cable television service in 12 Rhode Island communities, including Providence, as of Jan. 6.

In a 19-page decision, hearing officer John Spirito Jr. concluded that Verizon had met all the requirements to begin service to the 158,000 households in service areas 2, 3 and 8.

There were virtually no challenges to Verizon’s application, which the company submitted to the Division of Public Utilities and Carriers on March 8.

Verizon’s approval, issued Thursday, applies to Charlestown, Cranston, Foster, Hopkinton, Johnston, Narragansett, North Providence, Providence, Richmond, Scituate, South Kingstown and Westerly.

Great, maybe with their attention elsewhere they'll stop hounding people in North Kingstown to join. Not only mailings and repeated phone calls, but three visits to my door, after I'd said never, never.
