NOTE TO Mr. Shea... As many people, groups, and governing bodies are
watching L.A. closely in this issue, Mayor Riorden's comments would provide
good indication to the dilemmas many cities will be facing in the future.
Would you share some more details about your interview with Mayor Riorden?
By the way: Great article on AT&T, IMHO.
