ExciteAtHome (ATHM: news, msgs) executives reassured the investment community that they feel confident the Portland, Ore., ruling will be overturned. What else did you expect them to say? They also said ExciteatHome cable lines don't allow for more than one Net service provide, pointing to technical hurdles, such as limited bandwidth, the company would face should AT&T be forced to open its lines to multiple providers. This is not true. It is technically possible for more than one ISP to share (the network layer of) a frequency band. Also, IP bandwidth could be increased by subdividing the loop. That said, I doubt T has an incentive to invest in its cable infrastructure to offer "open access".
