"AT&T must get the approval of landowners and municipalities"
and
"...they claim they were already informing landowners before installing the boxes."
Since when is informing and approval the same thing?

I might grant approval in exchange for free service. (Free, top tier service of all services for life that is).

This is at&t's response to the events detailed in last week's article- I fail to see how this isn't relevant. |

I have a hunch that that little "boom" was NOT the batteries...

AT&T can use this issue in their favor and make many people look bad. All they would do is ask for permission from the landowner and if he/she declines and the company has no other option for the VRAD location then all they have to do is let the neighbors know who denied them of the service even if it is the municipality. Almost to say "You could have had the service but since the person who owns such land said no!"
I say give the landowner free top tier services in exchange for the permission to place the box on their land. That may sweeten up the deal. |

| Obsession?
Do homeowners in other countries (e.g. those with much faster and cheaper broadband) bitch and moan about property values like this?
And do they consider things like infrastructure improvements as devaluing?
(Am I crazy/alone in considering a DSLAM or cell tower in a neighborhood to be a plus?)
Did people living near the Eisenhower Interstates in the 50s bitch and moan about how the government was ruining their property values by putting up massive concrete behemoths in their neighborhoods? |

They might refuse you service unless you consent to the box. |

Re: WTH
haven't you realized that Karl typically takes a stance of anti everything (telco, cable, satelite, fcc, government, etc.). something similar can be said about the typical poster here too. |

Where I grew up when they were putting in an Interstate in the 70s, people were happy about it. They were either getting their house bought for a fair price and moving to a better neighborhood or they were suddenly on a cul de sac. Either way they generally considered it an improvement.

| hmmm.......
I live in an upscale neighborhood, (not bragging). I have a corner lot, if this was put on the side, I wouldn't have an issue, but someone living across the street might. I don't have a fix, but in some locales, in the south and mid west that don't have fences and such, I could see this as a problem. I am sure there are common areas that could be used, but from att/verizons point of view,just plop down anywhere.
I will bet that the bigwigs won't have one placed where they place them now....JMT

Sounds like a plan. Lifetime top-tier access in exchange for a perpetual easement for the VRAD. |
