FiOS may be coming into DC soon! The first hurdle, the Office of Cable Television, has been leapt. The OCT and Verizon came to an agreement to bring FiOS service into DC. This is just the first hurdle, next comes review by AG Nickles’ office, then approval by the City Council.
Of course, that’ll mean running fibre all over town, which means years of construction!
I live and work in the District of Columbia. I write at We Love DC, a blog I helped start, I work at Technolutionary, a company I helped start, and I’m happy doing both. I enjoy watching baseball, cooking, and gardening. I grow a mean pepper, keep a clean scorebook, and wash the dishes when I’m done. Read Why I Love DC.
Actually, there are currently two apartment building by Nationals Park that are selling FiOS Internet.
The agreement mentioned in the Post covers the TV franchise for DC. But yes, Verizon wasn’t going to start major FiOS construction until the FiOS TV portion was approved.
…that would be the Axiom and the Jefferson @ Capital Yards.
