WashingtonPost Front Page Business Article

OK, so it's been months since my last post... June to be exact.

But, I have not stopped inquiring about FIOS in DC (or lack thereof).

I've talked with DC City officials who said they would look into it, haven't heard anything. I've talked with other DC City officials who said they didn't know. I've emailed the Mayor... inquities like that, but no luck.

But TODAY there is a front page business section Page D1 article in the Washington Post that discusses this exact issue... so I'm not alone.

In any case, the article is called "Fios in You Neighborhood? Don't Ask Verizon" by Rob Pegoraro Sept 27, 2007.

Here's a small blurb from the article...

"Searching for service by typing in a District address on Verizon's Web site generated only a bland, meaningless assurance: "Our network is continually being expanded." Verizon's public relations department was no more informative.
"We've not announced plans at this point for D.C.," spokeswoman Christy Reap wrote in an e-mail."

So, I have nothing new to announce for those of you eager for FiOS in DC but at least it's getting some attention from the media.

Maybe that will help?!
