"If the City deploys fiber, why should AT&T bother with any investments in the community?"

that's fine. if AT&T wants to ignore the future, let 'em die.

Yep, The "New" AT&T is sounding more and more like The "Old" AT&T every time they open their mouth. The more things change, the more they stay the same.

Re: let the threats begin!

ya, waist money on a city that already has the infrastructure (sarcasm). I would have to agree with ATT on this, there is no reason to build in a city like this if you ATT because there are hundreds of cities down the road that need ATT services. Why put so much in to not see as much back. THESE ARE COMPANIES PEOPLE, THEY MAKE MONEY.

Isn't AT&T just saying that if the city builds a fiber network they have no need to remain in SF. It is not AT&T ignoring the future, since it is not AT&Ts choice.

AT&T can wait until SanFran builds a fiber infrastructure and then sue to make sure they can provide service over it. That way the taxpayers fund the system and then they get to use it.

But they do not want that. AT&T competes by controlling the pipe. Take away that control and they do not have a competitive advantage over other independent ISPs. They will not sue to get access, they will sue to prevent the government from building and owning a competitive pipe.

Nice rant, but their behavior in Utah on Utopia begs to differ.
