This is good news for San Juan Capistrano AT&T users -- which includes me. Over the past few months, I haven't been able to get service inside City Hall, which makes it hard to blog and tweet about the ... wonderful ... things the council does.
The site will be near Camino Capistrano and Del Obispo.
