Telecom rollouts raise ire over utility boxes (AP)

David Crommie, president of the Cole Valley Improvement Association, looks at an AT&T serving area interface (SAI) box in San Francisco, Tuesday, Aug. 19, 2008. The cabinet in the middle is a U-verse VRAD cabinet and the far left cabinet is a power transfer switch (PTS). Crommie said AT&T received an exemption from environmental review to install up to 850 cabinets in San Francisco, which his group appealed. AT&T backed down last month at a hearing before the board of supervisors and is expected to reapply for exemption.
