i like idea of msft providing msn thru cable with athm. how likely is this Unlikely through ATHM, but highly likely through RoadRunner, the competing service co-owned by TimeWarner, MediaOne, Microsoft, Compaq, and Newhouse. There is some speculation that RoadRunner and @home will merge as part of the current consolidation of cable companies. Teflon thinks it's likely. I think it's nearly impossible. [For more (way, way more) on those issues, click on my handle and look at some the messages and responses in the ATHM thread.] @home is buying Excite partly to get its own portal and content services. RoadRunner has so far avoided such a purchase, so MSN still looks like a good candidate. Microsoft has also been making heavy investments in ADSL companies during the past three months, so they won't be left out of the broadband arena.
