I believe the deal has already been made, and that is why AOL bowed out of the bidding for MediaOne.

It would not make business sense for Steve Case to commit to building infrastructure, and making his bed with AT&T. Broadband may not be the panacea AOL is looking for.

I would place my money on AOL leasing AT&T's pipes, and offering a discount to their subscribers who want the speed of Cable. This would be in addition to offering a range of choices, at different prices, for regular access, & for DSL.

AOL would then continue along its chosen path, and AT&T would be free to develop ATHM. & the regulators would be pacified.

DA.
