Will Green Luddites Stop AT&T High Speed Expansion in San Francisco?

The San Francisco Chronicle reports:

A week from Tuesday, the rubber is supposed to meet the road, or rather the sidewalk, on AT&T's plan to bring its U-verse high-speed phone, Internet and television service to San Francisco.

That's when the Board of Supervisors is scheduled to vote on whether an environmental impact report is needed before AT&T installs 726 surface utility boxes to power the service across the city.

A "yes" vote, devoutly wished by AT&T opponents who are fired up about the boxes, would at least delay the project for years, or kill it altogether.

Religion seems to be obstructing economic growth in San Francisco.
