I keep trying to think what T , Comcast, Cox and others would want, after all they have the voting power.

At least we've got an intelligent question here.

Lets not forget that a "buyout" is nothing more than an exchange of stock. Why would AT&T want shares of YHOO instead of shares of ATHM? What does it get them?

It only gets them something of value if some smaller portion of a broadband enabled Yahoo brings more stock value to AT&T than a huge portion of Excite@home will. There would also have to be some kind of synergy created with Excite as a Yahoo company.

I can see Yahoo on steroids being an awesome thing, but I see a ton of overlap between Yahoo and Excite. What value is in that?
