Cox is looking at offering a slower version of cable-modem service (!) From my NXTV post, an excerpt from WSJ: Message 14422310 Cox is also aggressively pushing to sell high-speed services under the At Home Corp. brand name. (Cox is one of several cable companies that own a stake in Excite At Home.) At the end of June, Cox claimed about 320,00 high-speed customers, a 50% increase over last year. Seeking to expand its high-speed reach, Cox is looking at offering a slower version of cable-modem service, Mr. Rooney says. He says the service would be geared to people who aren't willing to pay $45 a month for Cox's At Home service, considered pricey by most consumer standards. "Not everybody will consider a $45 Internet product," he syas. "It may make sense to offer a slower service that isn't as robust" but still a vast improvement over traditional dial-up services. Not sure if this is a net plus or minus for ATHM. Could be bad if it lures away too many potential ATHM customers. Could be good if the "inferior" service whets the appetite for upgrades to full ATHM service... RP
