The week in review.
On Monday, Jess spent a day with Fios tech Latanya in NYC to see what it takes to serve customers in the city that never sleeps.
Then on Tuesday we started our road trip coverage with Stephen Balkam of the Family Online Safety Institute, as he goes from city to city sharing best practice tips for online safety, and showing how the Gizmo watch can help keep kids safe.
Wednesday, our Network won the highest P3 score given out in 10 years, and we covered the week’s most exciting tech stories, from digital assistants to a pair of very water-proof Apple watches.
And this Thursday was all about football, as we announced an amazing new NFL RedZone deal for Verizon Up members along with scores of new ticket giveaways and fan experiences.

In their documentary, 5B, RYOT studios tells the stories of the patients who lived at the ward, and hospital staff who provided holistic treatment at a pivotal moment in American history.
