For most of residents of the District of Columbia, the exemption of Cables of Television is complicated contracts. Very often, the agreement matters more for the company of Television of Cable and for the local government.
This Friday, the 31st, in the morning, a committee of the Council of the District of Columbia will have his first hearing to check such contracts in our city. But this time, the committee will see much more than a Cable agreement. This new exemption might revolutionize the way in which the residents of the District live and work in the 21st century. And it should matter for every resident.
For the first time, Verizon has asked to offer services of TV of optical fibre in all the 8 DC areas. If the agreement happens satisfactorily, Verizon might offer FIOS TV in the housings of the District at the end of next year.
This agreement means much more that to break the mastery of Comcast on the market of TV of the District, something that we have wished many of us for good weather. This agreement is a part of a very extensive plan of Verizon to bring one of the more rapid services from Internet in the nation for thousands of hearths in the area.
Network speeds with the double of the one that at present we have today, children might increase the business beginning in the District of Columbia, in a moment, in which more we need it. Education and services of training in the work on the optical fibre might create a new generation of residents without options to an opportunities life. The business that operate from a house might bloom at a speed from 20 to 50 Megabytes per second.

The pressure in our transportation infrastructure would improve if the passengers could work from his house - office. The future applications of this Network - interactive television, monitoring of health from the house, educational services - are impressive also.
Our Hispanic residents have much that to gain with this agreement. Our neighbors in Adams Morgan, the broker of the Agreed Georgia and part of M. Pleasant they are between the list for the FIOS project. The access of wide band will benefit our population of many ways, from our aptitude to be able monitorear that our relatives are from the outside well of the city, up to taking part in a videoconference from our apartments. There is no bad at all one in this agreement.
The power for the change is in his hands. The Council of the city should provide Verizon of all the necessary incentives to have FIOS in our local communities. For it, he should start by voting positively in the exemption of so prompt Cable it is possible.
This is an important moment. There is no any more time to be lost.
