ESCONDIDO: Postcard campaign targets AT&T cable boxes : North County Times - Californian:

"ESCONDIDO ---- An anonymous postcard campaign in Escondido is urging residents to protest AT&T's ongoing effort to install hundreds of large cable TV boxes across the city.

The postcards describe the boxes as 'enormous' and characterize AT&T as a company that puts profit above community appearance. But AT&T officials said Monday that the postcards contain 'misinformation' and 'scare tactics.'

City officials agreed Monday that the postcards are misleading because they feature photographs of significantly taller boxes than those being installed in Escondido.

It is not known how many residents have received the postcards, but employees in the city clerk's office said they have received roughly 30 phone calls about the cards in recent weeks. The cards urge residents to contact City Hall about the boxes."

Maybe it's just us, but a 48" inch high box is still REALLY BIG! Do you want one in front of YOUR house? OCNA
