AT&T Reaction to U.S. District Court Decision

WASHINGTON, June 4 /PRNewswire/ -- The following statement may be attributed to Mark Rosenblum, AT&T vice president -
law, regarding today's District Court decision conditioning the transfer of the TCI franchise in Portland, Oregon.

''Today's decision is inexplicable. AT&T raised numerous substantial challenges to these ordinances, going to the jurisdictions' legal
authority to adopt these rules as well as the soundness of the rules themselves. The most significant aspect of the decision is its
failure to address any of these challenges in a meaningful way.

''We continue to believe strongly in the merits of our legal arguments. The actions taken by officials of Portland and Multnomah
County are beyond the legal authority municipalities have to review cable franchise transfers. Clearly we will continue to pursue our
legal case.

''In the meantime, the real losers are likely to be the citizens of Portland and Multnomah County. This decision can only have the
potential to delay and reduce the new services that companies like AT&T will be able to offer them.''

Open access to cable means that when you sign up for cable internet service, you choose the portal that you will see when you turn it on
That is incorrect, it has zero to do with the first page.
It is about who provides the ISP function.

Not quite. The actual definition hasn't been given yet. This is no trivial matter and it may be the crack in the implications in the Oregon ruling.
