Ron, in that event, assuming that the decision held up, if T were to sign a consent decree of some sort, and pledge a best-effort approach to finding solutions and remedies (it pains me to hypothesize this way) then I think that many of the legal obstructions you cited could be obviated, allowing them to move forward on their own rollouts as well, while they sort out the issues. Just MHO.
It occurs to me here that T has gotten the bulk of focus on this thread. Has it been disproportionate to AHTM's fate, or very crucial to it? After all, the linkage between ATHM and T, as with the other MSOs in this situation, can be viewed as temporary in nature by some measures, and under certain conditions, namely that of contract terms (durations), and the covenants that are agreed to relating to the type of content that may be transported over the last mile. Just curious about this, and wondering if anyone else has been contemplating the heavy weighting given to T throughout this discussion, as well.
