Six versions of ICub exist in laboratories across Europe, where scientists are painstakingly tweaking its electronic brain to make it capable of learning, just like a human child and hoping it will learn how to adapt its behaviour to changing circumstances, offering new insights into the development of human consciousness.

    "Our plan is to cover all of the 3.1 million households in all five boroughs in the next five to six years. We will start this year as soon as we receive the approval of the New York Public Service Commission, which we expect will be next month," Chief Operating Officer Denny Strigl said in a speech at the NXTcomm telecommunications industry conference in Las Vegas.

    In New York City, which includes the five boroughs, FiOS TV would compete with Time Warner Cable Inc and Cablevision Systems Corp.
