I agree. An agreement between ATT/ATHM and AOL (or any ISP who wants to migrate their customers to cable access) would be very positive for all parties. I was drawing a distinction between a business agreement and the government forcing an open access arrangement. In the latter, the regulators will try to dictate terms that they think would be fair to everyone, and I think that would be impossible.

Frankly, I don't see any reason why ATHM can't just start advertising "… and for an additional $9.95/mo, you can access the Internet's premium channel… AOL!"

Why wait for an agreement?
