"Is the Clearwater system already supporting a robust proprietary service, like ATHM or RR, on the same channel on which they would propose to stuff the newcomers? I don't think so."

Frank,
Being on the GTE system in the Clearwater area, I can answer the question. The answer is probably, no. I have no idea who the ISP is that takes GTE Worldwind onto the Internet backbone. I don't even have a GTE ISP home page and never did from what I recall. GTE just contracted out their ISP service to some local no name company as far as I know. At least a year ago it was contracted out. Sounds like it still is because of their perplexing announcement.

Maybe the announced the sharing ability was to hurt AT&T's appeal to the FCC for help in the Oregon debacle. In other words to slow down AT&T's cable plant rollouts so GTE can catch up? But that's really cutting your nose to spite your face to me.

I don't understand what you are saying GTE's purpose was for making this rather strange announcement?
Thanks,
MikeM(From Florida)
