Submission + - Suburbs against the U(ni)verse

Fingers were pointed, moratoria were passed, lawsuits were filed, and the FCC was petitioned. AT&T refuses to concede that its new service is a "cable system" with all the regulation that implies under US law, and neither Congress nor the FCC nor the courts have decided one way or that other. That leaves local communities caught between giants.""
