Politics squeezes effort on broadband | Chicago Tribune:
"On Wednesday AT&T and other Illinois phone companies told an Illinois legislative subcommittee that they will probably seek statewide video franchising here, similar to laws passed in Texas, California, New Jersey, Indiana and other states.

John Lenahan, general counsel for AT&T Illinois, told an Illinois House subcommitee on broadband infrastructure that his company still hopes that Congress will pass a national video bill.

He noted that AT&T has already taken seven western suburbs to court for blocking network upgrades. An eighth suburb, Naperville, this week enacted an ordinance that AT&T said will stop network upgrades there."
