Whoops, My DSLAM Exploded
AT&T investigating Lightspeed cabinet incident
Light Reading says AT&T is investigating what caused the explosion of an equipment cabinet and DSLAM installed in the Houston suburbs as part of the company's "Project Lightspeed" network upgrade. The explosion shook one nearby house, and the resulting fire damaged a fence, some siding, and several thousand dollars worth of telecom gear. AT&T says they're still investigating the incident and are looking at all possibilities, "including a gas leak, electrical issue, or an act of vandalism." Rogue cable industry attack squads, perhaps?

Maybe they were using Sony batteries. Just a thought.
