AT&T is not being transparent about exploding cabinets - Small Business Times

AT&T is not being transparent about exploding cabinets - Small Business Times: "AT&T's cabinets that are placed in the rights of way of the community members of the Regional Telecommunication Commission present a significant danger to our citizens.

The safety issue relates to explosions and fires in at least four cabinets that are being caused by defective batteries manufactured by a now bankrupt company. On Dec. 24, 2007, one of your cabinets exploded in Wauwatosa. If the cabinet had been next to a wooden building, not a brick building, there would have been a major fire.

There may be many more incidents than the one in Wauwatosa, two in Houston and one in Cleveland. This is because you have not been transparent regarding this safety issue.
AT&T has been lucky that no one has been killed or injured in the residential areas where you have located these cabinets."
