AGL Networks Names Rick Fehl Chief Operating Officer
HOUSTON – August 28, 2003 – AGL Networks, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of AGL Resources Inc. (NYSE: ATG), today announced that Rick Fehl has been appointed chief operating officer for AGL Networks. Based in Houston, Fehl will oversee all business functions of AGL Networks, including day-to-day operations of the company’s Atlanta and Phoenix dark-fiber networks.
“Rick’s appointment as chief operating officer of AGL Networks is the next logical step for the company’s ongoing development,” Paula Rosput, chairman, president and chief executive officer of AGL Resources. “Over the past year, we’ve focused our efforts on finding the right balance between serving our customers’ needs and growing the business.

Fehl succeeds Eric Martinez, former chief operating officer of AGL Networks, who has assumed a new position within AGL Resources as senior vice president of the company’s new business development unit, Pivotal Energy Development.
Fehl joined AGL Networks in March 2003 as senior vice president, engineering, operations and construction. He was responsible for overseeing the development and implementation of the company's overall fiber network, including engineering, construction, maintenance, emergency restoration, damage control, and network planning. The network includes 180 miles in Atlanta and 60 miles in Phoenix, AZ.
Fehl received a bachelor of science degree in electrical engineering from Villanova University, and a master’s degree in business administration from the University of Pittsburgh.
