Council Public Hearing

[RFlanag@aol.com]

When the City of Pittsburgh and AT&T released the details relating to the 
Cable Franchise Agreement the membership of the I-Net Working Group was very 
disappointed. We were disappointed because there was very little in the 
Franchise agreement for the schools, libraries and museums, and the 
non-profits.

Since the release of the Franchise Agreement intense discussion has occurred 
with AT&T to shape school, library and museum, and community access. The 
outcome to those discussions appear to be moving in a very positive 
direction. The leadership of the I-Net Working Group is hopeful that by the 
end of today a complete understanding with AT&T will have been established.

It will be this understanding that will shape what our presentations at the 
City Council public hearing on Wednesday at 2 p.m. KEEP AN EYE TO YOUR E-MAIL
