REUTERS/Brendan McDermid/File PhotoJuly 18 (Reuters) - AT&T (T.N) said on Tuesday it does not intend to immediately remove lead cables from Lake Tahoe pending further analysis, according to its court filing.
AT&T on Tuesday harshly criticized the newspaper's reporting and testing, saying it "differs dramatically from the expert testing commissioned by AT&T."
In Tuesday's court filing, AT&T argued that lead-clad cables "make up a small part" of its network.
EDF's goal was to use scientifically sound principles to determine the extent that lead-clad cables may pose health risks.
We did not pick the lab - the Wall Street Journal did that."
