Verizon Partners With Apple and Google for 5G Streaming

The carrier also added Indianapolis to its list of test cities

Verizon selected Apple and Google as its initial video streaming partners for its residential 5G rollout, the company confirmed on Tuesday.

Bloomberg initially reported the rumors.

The long-anticipated deals will give customers in four American cities—Sacramento, Calif., Houston, Los Angeles and Indianapolis—access to an Apple TV box and/or YouTube TV subscription as part of their 5G home broadband package when the new networks are introduced later this year. Verizon declined to give any more details on the plans until the yet-to-be-determined release date.

The announcement comes after Verizon shuttered its own Go90 streaming service earlier this year, choosing instead to focus on content partnerships and its Oath media properties.
