Verizon is preparing to launch cloud-based media streaming for all its FiOS subscribers. The service will assist you to store your music, photos, and videos on their servers and play them back for your phone, laptop, or other mobile device.
Your media-about 70 gigabytes of it, in line with Verizon-might be accessible anywhere you’ve got a WiFi or 3G/4G connection, retrievable by any of five authorized devices. Reps assured us that content could be fully downloadable, for later enjoyment whenever you’re stuck within the subway or any other unfortunate connectionless locale.
Browser-based streaming may also be allowed, when you’d want to access your library from a pal’s house or at work-though downloading your content over the net won’t be permitted for obvious reasons. While many people are itching for (and anticipating) an iTunes-in-the-cloud service from Apple, FiOS customers won’t should wait long to access their jams from anywhere, with Verizon expecting a launch by the tip of the year.
