Congratulations, 007 for proving yourself to be an uninformed hypster. Federal Judge Panner accepted Portland's motion for summary judgment based upon it's right to regulate the transfer of franchises, such as the one TCI had and AT&T has now bought. He did not review nor rule upon the necessity of AT&T to open up all of it's BB cable network to any and all ISP's, let alone granting access to AOL. And I quote from the ruling:

ATT/TCI would violate the open access condition if it failed to provide equivalent access, but not if it failed to use a particular technology to provide the access.

AND

The Cable Act explicitly protects local governmental authority to adopt ordinances for consumer protection and customer service. Section 632, 47 U.S.C. §552.

Further elaboration may be found on the @HOME board and I am sure they would be equally as impressed as we are with your "important information".


Do us a favor- go back to the movies, and this time-make it a double feature!
