Eric, As I stated in another post, MSFT is probably not interest in MSN Internet Access for the monthly subsribers charges. To MSFT it is just all e-commerce. That is, get as many eyeballs on MSN as possible. IF you can offer high speed internet access on cable (which only cable cos can do for now), you will get a lot of new customers who like the brand name. Unless lobbying by AOL and others can get cable lines free for them to offer high speed access, acquiring small cable cos may be an alternative which MSFT can afford. This way they may be able to beat AOL and be first among the current ISPs to get in on cable internet access.
