Greetings!

Now that December is here, we at DC Access are reflecting on this year's accomplishments and making our wish list for 2011.  Read on to see how we've expanded in 2010, and find out how you can help us continue to improve Internet service.
FreeTVDC: HD TV Without Cable or Satellite
Free TV DCDC Access already offers you high-speed wireless Internet with a side helping of great customer service from DC's only local service provider.  This spring we expanded on that idea by launching FreeTVDC.

You can free yourself from cable and satellite with a digital outdoor antenna.  FreeTVDC gives you access to over-the-air digital signals with the clarity of high definition.  There are no monthly payments, just a one-time installation fee.  Check out our Channels page for a list of available networks.
HillAds.com: Linking Local Online Publishers and Advertisers
Hill Ads is a hyperlocal advertising network to help businesses reach some of Capitol Hill's most popular websites. Here's how it works:

- Advertisers create a digital ad in one of six available sizes.

- The ad then goes onto the Hill Ads server.

- Using a list of criteria, advertisers choose the types of websites on which they want their ad to appear.

- The ad then appears on all the publisher websites in the Hill Ads network that meet the advertiser's criteria.

With prices ranging from $100-300 per month, Hill Ads fits every budget! You can see an example of how Hill Ads works by checking out the site of one of our publishers, The Hill is Home.
Can Your Network Help Our Network?
One of the best ways we can continue to improve service for our Capitol Hill customers is to install distribution antennas at strategic high points around the neighborhood.  Having our antennas on top of tall buildings helps increase our signal's reach.

We already have great relationships with apartment and condo management companies around the neighborhood, but we're looking for help to develop new relationships.  If you know anyone living in THE FOUR TWENTY CONDOMINIUM (420 16th St, SE), JENKINS ROW (1391 Pennsylvania Ave, SE), or THE IRIDIUM (1306 Pennsylvania Ave, SE) will you put us in touch? 

There are great benefits, too!  In return for allowing access to locate an antenna, DC Access offers bulk high-speed Internet access to building residents via a shared connection.  Typically the condo board or management company pays a one-time installation fee plus a discounted monthly fee per unit.  Residents have the option to upgrade their connection, if desired.  DC Access also manages all technical inquiries and monitors and maintains all systems installed.
