You'll probably argue that the MSO itself would be this entity but that is not their expertise....if it was, ATHM wouldn't be around. You might also argue that T could easily address this issue as well and they could but they would be limited to doing this in areas where they own the coax and would certainly give the other LD's reason to cry to the FCC, local munis and whoever else will listen. Having ATHM be the HFC CLEC is technically doable. ATHM could simply sell HFC peering to ISP by directly connecting ISP's to the @Home backbone. This makes the most sense because WHEN consumer internet fees trend to $0, ISP's will account for infrastructure as a liability.

This puts the issues right on the table.

Question - isn't @HOME's backbone actually connected via
AT&T's backbone?
