To celebrate the awesome power of broadband — and not at all, they assure us, to market their own broadband offerings — Verizon has launched a marketing campaign documentary project called "Broadband Stories." Sign up, create your own profile, and then tell the world true stories about how broadband access has changed your life. But wait! There's more!

Now you can make an appearance in Times Square. Your Broadband Stories profile can be featured on the digital Reuters sign at 3 Times Square, one of the largest and most sophisticated display systems in the world.

It's just like Radar Online's "Fifteen Minutes." Except, you know, in a venue where people might actually see it.
