One thing I would like to know why some developers use alleyways while others don't. Placing stuff like VRAD's, transformers, etc. becomes a little more bearable for the homeowner, but still an eyesore. I realize older developments don't have this option.
Also, can the VRAD's be reduced in size for future deployments? What about a WIMAX solution vs. using existing copper from the VRAD? |

| AT&T warned of possible widespread disruption of its U-verse video, Internet and phone service if it is forced to obtain retroactive permission from neighboring property owners for the installation of hundreds of refrigerator-sized utility boxes that power the service. Translation: AT&T threatened anyone who objected. |
