I attended this morning's kick-off event where FiOS was lit for the first time in the District of Columbia. As a DC resident, a Verizon employee and a general techie it was a little like a party and I was able to grab various attendees for interviews.
Don't miss my chat with mayor Adrian Fenty while he wears a Verizon hard-hat and the video of the fiber splice that actually connected the first FiOS Hub in this Southeast neighborhood to our Central Office over fiber.
As I mention in the video - with FiOS - DC is slated to become one of the best wired cities in the world, joining New York (another FiOS city) Seoul, Hong Kong, and Tokyo.
