AT&T Planting Big, Beige Boxes in My Neighborhood

http://blogs.pcworld.com/staffblog/archives/005132.html: "AT&T Planting Big, Beige Boxes in My Neighborhood AT&T is laying new fiber optic cable in the nation's upper middle class-to-wealthy neighborhoods in a $4 billion-plus initiative it calls Project Lightspeed. It will use that fiber to deliver real fast Internet as well as its hot new U-verse IPTV service. In order to do that they have to install big cabinets--called fiber optic 'nodes'--to serve up those services. The cabinets are five feet wide, four feet wide and more than two feet deep. They are painted beige. "
