Today The Washington Post reports that the nation’s capital has struck a deal with Verizon to bring their blazing-fast FiOS internet and tv service to it. This is exciting news given that the federal government had previously been requiring Verizon to lease ALL of their unused fiber to the government for their use. Looking forward to mind-bogglingly fast internet, but also hoping the TV service is good enough to compete with Comcast’s offerings. Comcast has had a stranglehold on the DC cable market and this new competition gives me hope that we might be able to dump our $200/mo cable bills soon!
