T made an agreement on telephony. T made an agreement on telephony. T made an agreement on telephony. AOL and T are not at war. You'll find in this thread a long discussion about the alleged merger between ATHM and RR about a year ago. You'll find I said it would never happen. Then I relented because some hack showed the news item. I should have stood my ground because I knew there was no way. Now, it is a not doable deal and you are trotting it out again when it can't make sense?

TWX could have a AOL@RR, but it doesn't make business sense to do so. Neither does it make political sense to do so.

Just about no one in the world agrees with you since it is similar to saying T and ATHM don't make sense.

However, a year ago I made a similar comment on this thread. I said it would be better for ATHM to go it alone rather than partner with anyone. Struggle and claw your way making your own path. Put your thing out for all to use as they see fit. No one at all agreed with that, but I still think it is completely true. They don't see it because it isn't the easy get-rich-quick way. It doesn't throw-up this instantaneously creatable worldwide broadband network. Will T's occurrence expedite that in a way multiplying ATHM's interest or do we have a Trojan Horse here. Perpend.

This easy money attitude prevails in the public, at T, at Kleinert Perkins, and on this thread. It is testament to the smallness of this era that visionaries can't see beyond their greed which is in sharp contrast to magnates and barons of the 19th century though we conveniently like to portray them as greed-bound robbers. They had robbers; we have heroes. It is all a matter of perception and doublethink.
