Where have you and AT&T been Marilyn?  This has been a LONG and arduous
process that has been through MANY different levels of review and
discussion.  You make it sound like this is something new that is being

participating in the process that led to this point for many years now. 

To imply that this has been a rushed process is rather amusing  :)
