| On April 29, New York City government announced plans to take action on the proposed Verizon cable franchise agreement for New York City. Once approved, this agreement will allow the more than three million New York City households to access FiOS TV. The City’s Franchise and Concession Review Committee is holding a public hearing on the cable franchise on May 20, 2008. A vote is expected on May 27.

| Doc Searls today talked about his 20/20Mbps symmetrical FiOS. (Service seen here uploading photos – don’t blink!). He asks (spurred on by Scott Brandner) if Verizon only offers symmetrical service where there are two or more competitors. The answer is, we offer symmetrical service to every FiOS customer. 20/20Mbps in six states (NY, CT, MA, NJ, FL, RI) and 15/15 everywhere else. For the record, catch how Doc describes his choice of provider (he has four wires to choose from) and why: “Since... |

| As of March 31, we’ve passed 10.4 million homes and businesses with fiber-optic service, FiOS, in 16 states. And while we currently pass 20% of homes in the Big Apple with our industry-leading fiber-fueled broadband, next we hope to share our crystal-clear video with all 3.1 million homes in New York City’s five boroughs. We’ve submitted a proposal to city officials and are awaiting a green-light to provide FiOS TV, and hope to begin offering it later this year. (Another hurdle was cleared... |

Verizon reported its 2008 first quarter earnings this week (skillfully covered around The Tubes), and in what has been a regular feature at PolicyBlog, I rip off share some internal break-outs around how FiOS is faring.

| As a follow-up to the AWSOME Michael Bay ad, the next “This is Big” spot features real customers talking about their experience with FiOS. It’s a good spot and is now running on a TV near you. On a related note, I also got my hands on some of the raw footage shot of many of those same customers taken while they were creating the ad.
