[Nfbc-info] Verizon Phone boxes

[Deepa Goraya]

Hi Robert,

I saw your email and I wanted to watch your video of your interview, but I 
couldn't find it on the site. What is the title of the video? Can I watch 
the other interview online anywhere as well?

> The proposal is this:
> Verizon will start November 1st, in taking the Bios Boxes that they have 
> placed on telephone poles at a height  of three feet or so, and move them 
> to a height of no less then eight feet.
> Any box that cannot be moved to this new height, will have a barrier 
> placed from its bottom edge to the ground.
> This will start in November of 2009 and has an ending date of December 
> 2010.
> We will meet in January, June and December to make sure that Verizon is 
> continuing the work that they agree to, and that things are moving along.
