Bringing in the Fiber (Score 2, Interesting)

I'm working on bringing utilities to a new construction building in Maryland (around DC). While they do not have fiber (Fios) at the location right now, I was told by the Fiber Service Group for Verizon that if you request fiber to be installed they will do so at no additional cost (typical $80 dollar install fees, of course). They will also supply the converters to translate the digital signal to analog, essentially replacing whatever trunk line they would have put in (in my case, two 25-pair cables backbone cables). When they finally get Fiber into your particular area, you are already set up and ready for it.

Of course, that's only helpful if you're building a new house/building.
