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. AHAHAHHAHA chris
