Re: Hope it does well True but you can bet that ATT will slow down the build if they own the poles or can talk the local power company into slowing them down. |

 NWOhio join:2011-10-25 Toledo, OH | you mean rule? FCC doesn't pass laws. they pass rules. they're not given legal power to pass law. but T could very well make it very difficult for them to wire. |

Sonic's biggest obstacle would more likely be the Board of Supervisors and their aesthetics nazis than would AT&T or a power company. NIMBY is the rallying cry of neighborhood activists in SF. |

 axus join:2001-06-18 Washington, DC | Real high speed internet would increase property value though. AT&T U-verse isn't anything that would draw an upper income earner, I can understand why the cabinets aren't worth it. |

 BiggA join:2005-11-23 EARTH | reply to NWOhio In the SF environment, I don't think anyone like AT&T, partly because of the inadequate network planning their of related AT&T Mobility (which most people see as one company), so the local government will probably support this. |

Really? So if I deliberately interfere with a radio station, I can't go to jail?
What is the difference between a 'law' and a 'rule'? |
|
 NWOhio join:2011-10-25 Toledo, OH | The difference is Congress NEVER gave them the power to create laws. They gave them the power to create rules. And that is a rule not a law.
A law is passed/put into effect by someone that has the power (Congress or other legal bodies) others issue RULES. Even the IRS for the most part uses RULES and not Laws but they have the power to use both. |

| reply to NWOhio Well put. Overseas, their equivalent FCC and consumer protection agencies have the authority to smack down these companies.
This is why the have common cellar frequencies and technology, allowing for legitimate competition. Or mandating that handsets have to be unlocked, allowing the customer to choose who to use with their handsets.
The excellent and competitive products and services offered abroad speaks for itself. Whereas, we allowed the 'free market' (aka the corrupt) to pull the string here and have been forced to bend over and take it. |

 | reply to axus I'd move if I only had u-verse to choose from. FIOS absolutely destroys it and San Fran does miss out. |

If only the tech capital of the world knew what they were missing out on.
Verizon should have rolled out a new network in the San Jose area. |
