Verizon Communications Inc is seeking to partner with Google or Apple to provide television when it launches the first superfast 5G service to homes in Los Angeles and Sacramento later this year, according to a person familiar with the situation.
Negotiations are ongoing and could still fall apart, said the person, who asked not to be identified because the discussions are private. Verizon is expected to update to its 5G rollout plans when it reports second-quarter results July 24. The phone giant came up short developing its own live online TV service, and a partner could help Verizon deliver on its promise of a robust 5G offering in four cities before the end of the year.
