A rally was held, on Tuesday, March 16, 2010, at noon, outside the headquarters of Verizon, in downtown Baltimore, MD. Activists, representing a coalition of concerned citizens, demanded to know why Verizon doesn’t have any plan to “deploy its next-generation fiber-optic data communication technology” in Baltimore City? They underscored how the company does provide that service to other jurisdictions in Maryland, and also in the District of Columbia. The coalition, according to its press release, is launching a “bus billboard campaign” to get its message out. Matthew Weinstein, Baltimore Region Director of Progressive Maryland, moderated the event. For background, go to: http://www.whereisbmorefios.org
