One thing I would like to know why some developers use alleyways while others don't. Placing stuff like VRAD's, transformers, etc. becomes a little more bearable for the homeowner, but still an eyesore. I realize older developments don't have this option.
Also, can the VRAD's be reduced in size for future deployments? What about a WIMAX solution vs. using existing copper from the VRAD? |

| AT&T warned of possible widespread disruption of its U-verse video, Internet and phone service if it is forced to obtain retroactive permission from neighboring property owners for the installation of hundreds of refrigerator-sized utility boxes that power the service. Translation: AT&T threatened anyone who objected. |

| If the ATT places the VRADs in front of houses that have had their value plummet due fact that they're now considered toxic, will the future owner of that asset be eligible for Superfund monies?

The funniest part about that threat was if they carried through with it, they would have to credit tons of money back to customers for service disruptions. They are basically threatening to hurt themselves. |
