[EAS] Cell Reliability

[Bill Ruck]

Adrienne,

Lily Thomlin was so far ahead of her time.  "We don't care; we don't 
have to."  Understand that Humboldt County is working to connect to 
L3 for Internet.  L3 goes through Winnemucca but not very near 
anything useful to the county so they're going to put in a last mile 
microwave hop.

And AT&T will bring us FirstNet.  Yeah, right.

Am told that AT&T owned underground cable vaults through NV for their 
analog carrier but decided to use aerial fiber runs because it was 
less expensive to install.

Remember that the name "AT&T" is used by the SBC telecom speculators.
