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?
I am sure some did. However, there is a big difference between the Federal Gov't building an interstate highway system for the benefit of all, and AT&T building out an internet/TV system for the benefit of their bottom line and stockholders.
Don't get me wrong, I am all in favor of corps building out and turning a profit, but not when it means running roughshod over the very people they want as customers. A little give-and-take on both sides could yield excellent results. However, it would appear as if AT&T wants all the take with no give.

| If AT&T wasn't going with IPTV and instead wanted to beef up speeds to the end-user. They'd still need to place these cabinets. |

| Any form of DSL or active electronics would need it. Only PON doesn't need. it. It just needs gobs of fiber and smaller min-fridge sized boxes. |
