"After hooking up ATHM, what's to prevent me from using the "cheaper" rates for bring-your-own access AOL ($9.95/mo) and piggyback on top of the ATHM broadband? Once I have the big pipe to my house, AOL software can just "run" through that pipe." Blaze, absolutely nothing, because ATHM could care less what you do after you turn on your computer...but you are paying $49.95 per month to get AOL "broadband"...This is pissing off AOL, they want an equal shot at being the cable company's customer for the $40 fee. Mike Again, ATHM gets the revenue (well actually a portion, because the $40 is shared by the owner of the pipe <cable co> and athm <content>) even though you don't use ATHMs content.
