As the City of Milwaukee simultaneously sues AT&T and tries to negotiate an agreement with the phone company on its new Internet protocol video service, a Common Council committee today OK'd spending up to $100,000 on an outside law firm to offer assistance.

The city sued AT&T last month, asking a court to declare the company's new 200-plus channel "U-Verse" product a cable system. That would require the company to negotiate a franchise agreement with the city.The city is in talks with AT&T on an interim agreement, which would allow the company to operate the system while the matter is in court. That agreement likely would include a payment from AT&T to the city.A separate file indicates the firm, Miller & Van Eaton, has already billed the city about $33,500. Many such cases have been struck down in other states where AT&T and Verizon are offering the new Internet protocol video service.
