Haven't seen any new material, but then again Jan 28 wasn't all that long ago. Had you seen this info previously: [snip] O'Brien said he expects between five and seven firms will make bids, though some people familiar with the bidding said that number could be as low as two: SBC/Ameritech and AT&T. A two-horse race between these telecom giants could create a particularly tricky selection process for the city, and not just because Mayor Richard Daley's brother William became president of the SBC parent company in November. SBC/Ameritech currently supplies the bulk of Chicago's telecommunications services, and with the city essentially asking the winning bidder to do more work for the same amount of money, some say the company will try to draw out the building of the network. An SBC/Ameritech official denied that her company would seek to slow the project. "We believe it is a good business decision to make high-speed Internet access available as broadly as possible," said Carrie Hightman, president of SBC/Ameritech in Illinois. -------------- It won't be much of a "model" if this is the outcome.
