Where's Our FiOS, Ivan?

(Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO)
Workers and labor activists will ask Verizon CEO Ivan Seidenberg tonight why the cable giant is leaving DC out of the high-speed loop. "Verizon is building a world-class, high speed network - called FiOS - throughout the metropolitan area - but not in DC," says the Connect-DC campaign. The activists will picket and leaflet Seidenberg tonight at 6P as he accepts an industry award. "Verizon is neglecting its customers by denying DC access to the best available technology," says Connect-DC. "Once again, our children, our neighborhood, and our local businesses will be left waiting."
