While I don't question the possibility of the deal which has been flooded the media channels during past few days, I doubt that the openNET Coalition will be dissolved after the deal. If openNET wouldn't go away, then what's the point of achieving those deals?

Let's look at the founding members of the openNET Coalition...

America Online Inc.
US West
MCI-WorldCom Inc.
MindSpring Enterprises Inc.
Prodigy Communications Corp.
Netscape Communications Corp.
Cable and Wireless USA Inc.
Washington Association of Internet Service Providers
CyberRamp Internet Services
Bertelsmann Internet Services
ConnectNet
Texas Internet Service Providers Association.

US West and AOL have been primary opponents of the transfer of local TCI franchises to AT&T in Los Angeles, Seattle, Denver, and Portland, Ore. US West has a funny position now for it has been acquired by Qwest. Qwest is the perfect candidate for openNET's next target of the open access nonsense. I think ATHM is more than willing to make deals, but how and what will be involved is beyond my wildest imagination.
