Saved by the interview

Saturday, November 11th, 2006

Instructive to note how one interview can make a story. For this examination of Verizon’s ambitious effort to rewire a decades-old telephone system, I contacted a gentleman from North Carolina who runs a fiber optic business of his own. The ensuing 30-minute interview was rich with data, detail, colorful quotes and just good interesting conversation. This Multichannel News feature story would have turned out much differently - and likely not nearly as interesting - without him.
