"BellSouth should give up fiber optics lawsuit"

In this morning's Advertiser:

Dear BellSouth,

As a citizen of Lafayette, and a customer of BellSouth, I would appreciate it if you would halt your attempts to thwart the fiber-optic plan by suing our city. It's costing me money both ways. The city must spend money defending, and you must spend money attacking. I suggest you give the lawyers a rest, and use the savings to lower your rates. That might do more to preserve your customer base than all this litigation.

Eric Sweet

Lafayette

Amen.
