"Riordan favors the latter approach; his appointed commission chairman, Alan Arkatov, took the opposite view." "Arkatov, whose resignation is effective immediately, is a controversial but respected local leader who runs a pair of Internet companies and who has served on state as well as local boards. According to several City Hall insiders, Arkatov led the charge for open access, then recoiled when Riordan aides told him the mayor favored a different approach." If Arkatov's Internet companies are ISPs, it would be a little tough to be objective on the open access issue. LA's support of the FCC's "hands-off" decision will help ATHM in the short-term. Maybe now other cities will follow suit. Ed
