Verizon, DirecTV get closer — for now

Over the past month, Verizon has begun offering new customers a single bill that combines their satellite TV charges with their phone bill, more clearly identifying the $2 to $6 in monthly savings they can get. By June, Verizon hopes to begin sending a combined statement to tens of thousands of customers who had ordered DirecTV through Verizon before the one-bill option became available.

DirecTV, meanwhile, is looking into offering clips from its National Football League ‘’Sunday Ticket” package of 12 games every Sunday to Verizon Wireless customers using TV-capable cellphones on Verizon’s new high-speed Broadband Access network, according to DirecTV executive vice president Steve Cox.
