FiOS for Harford County?
Harford County residents could get FiOS, if county council members approve the proposed Verizon cable franchise agreement on Feb. 17.
Bel Air residents already have FiOS, but to submit testimony to support FIOS, contact your Harford County Council members or write to the Harford County Council office.
Verizon spokeswoman Sandra Arnette said in an interview yesterday about resolving Verizon customer service woes that the company will start installing lines once it's approved.
Readers frequently ask when FiOS will come to their area.
Baltimore Sun business columnist Jay Hancock addressed this topic last month, with his column about Baltimore's FiOS hopes.
His answer is: maybe FiOS will arrive in Baltimore by 2010. The company is negotiating with Baltimore's cable commission.

Heres my FiOS question:
I live in Zip code 21212, but I live on the county side. Rodgers Forge.
Now I understand the City doesn’t have FiOS, but parts of the county do. When I type in my address in the Verizon.com questionnaire it always asks me “Did you mean Govans, MD? No, I do not mean Govans, I live in the county. It searches by the Zip code, which is shared by City and County residents, so I think its impossible to get an accurate reading. Do you think they consider the entire zip code part of the city, and thus nothing until 2010, or do you think they actually go by physical location?
Does anyone know of plans to bring FiOS to Rodgers Forge?
RF, I bet you're right that it's just that those hybrid zip codes are classified as city OR county for their online form, but in terms of the cable franchise, it should be clear what's Baltimore County and what's not. --- lfk.
