			<description><![CDATA[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.  After a few additional approvals within the city, and confirmation by the New York State Public S]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[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 V]]></description>

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. I uploaded both to YouTube, and embedded the outtakes video below.  Why?

			<description><![CDATA[I’m just back from a family trip where I spent time in both Massachusetts and New York.  And even on holiday, PolicyBlog material abounds.In a MA small town on the Southern coast – and during a wicked summer thunderstorm – a Verizon rep was talking to neighbors door-to-door about the fiber powered goodness of FiOS newly available in their small community.   I wasn’t home to witness, but a mom of three small boys from across the street was impressed.   In all honesty I’m not sure if it was the Fi]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[This is becoming a quarterly affair, so I thought I’d again repurpose for the blog this fact sheet on our fiber optic deployment.   The numbers tell a remarkable growth story, and are the reason some of the most keen observers of this space are noticing.   Below is the full fact sheet, but first here a few highlights:  ·         As of June 30, 2007, Verizon has more than 1.1 million FiOS Internet customers, an increase of 203,000 during the second quarter of 2007. Here is the “millionth’)·      ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[One month ago today, we had bloggers with ZNF get their hands dirty with FiOS TV’s Interactive Media Guide (IMG), called “FiOSTV 2.0” by some.   It’s been rolling out across the 12 states we offer FiOS TV (next week: Massachusetts!) and so thought I’d share a status report.   The reviews have been great, most people seem to be genuinely wowed by the new guide, and I’m happy to report the IMG will keep getting better.   See this note from the Interactive Media Guide team I got today: We really ap]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[The networked world offers many benefits; one of these is a ring-side seat to the experiences of people using stuff you’re interested in -- in the real world.   For a company, these views can be invaluable (and even signal a paradigm shift). And when some of your “stuff” is broadband connections that are the most advanced in the world, those customers (who have FiOS) don’t seem to be shy about sharing.   In my daily read/watch of new media, I’ve come across a large number of these users who also]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[(Photo credit: Dave Zatz) Verizon is announcing today a new multi-media, interactive guide for FiOS TV users (release pasted below, <STRIKE>and I’ll add a link when it’s available</STRIKE>.  UPDATE: Release linked here).  It’s called an interactive media guide (IMG) because it does so much more than change channels.  We let team ZNF play with the new interface a few weeks back.  From their post, Dave shares his experiences and some good pics.   Here’s today’s related news release: FOR IMMEDIATE ]]></description>
