When Orem and Lindon were evaluating the Macquarie/Utopia issue last year, there was some blog coverage about Vivint getting involved and lobbying the cities against it. One blog even stated that a Lindon councilwoman is married to a VP at Vivint wireless and may have improperly influenced the Lindon decision rather than recusing herself. I understand their goal of promoting their product, but their involvement kind of left a bad impression on me. /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
