The Connecticut DPUC yesterday ruled (http://www.courant.com/business/hc-natbizdigbrf0528.art2may28,0,5483413.story) that AT&T must get the permission of abutting landowners and municipalities before it can install utility boxes for its U-verse VDSL/IPTV service. The large VRAD cabinets have been a sore spot for a growing number of communities, who consider them property value killers (http://www.thegng.org/shownews/88546). According to a statement (http://www.stamfordplus.com/stm/information/nws1/publish/News_1/Blumenthal_praises_decision_against_AT_T2446.shtml ) by the CT Attorney General, the ruling applies to both future and past installations. In most states, landowners simply wake up with the large cabinets in front of their homes (and sometimes on their property (http://www.thegng.org/shownews/93381)).
