AT&T wins San Francisco cable access showdown
By Bloomberg News
Special to CNET News.com
July 26, 1999, 8:30 p.m. PT

AT&T has been granted the San Francisco cable
franchise without a requirement to open the system to
rival Internet services, though the city will revisit the
issue later.

The city's Board of Supervisors voted 9 to 2 to grant AT&T the
franchise, formerly held by Tele-Communications Incorporated
(TCI), which AT&T acquired for $59.4 billion in March. The
board reached a compromise imposing so-called open access
only if a pending court case requires AT&T to let rivals such as
America Online use its cable lines for high-speed Internet
access.

The battle is starting...and the FCC isn't going to let this get into a free for all...
Those that invest....shall reap the rewards...those AOL's that have sat on their haunches and not spent ANY money will have to PAY SOMEONE
John Malone...Micheal Armstrong...Murdoch....mmmmmm
I want to be on their side
