The broadband portal is not available to any broadband ISP, at least not today.
Don't forget the TV. That medium will require another different interface. It's one
database of your information, formatted for each different device for which you
subscribe to the service. I don't think you will get AOL TV and be able to see
AT&T@Home interactive TV. It'll be one or the other. Of course they'll both let
you get to the content on the Internet. It just won't be the same as the subscription
service.

You do make good points though. My point is that the @Home network is the
best in the world today. It will be duplicated by many over the next few years.
Then content will be the key. You have to be a few steps ahead in this game.
@Home must capitalize on it's lead and then provide the content to grow the
business to the mass market that prefers the "walled garden" approach.
