Mark, AOL owning cable media without govt intervention is a dream...

The idea that any company can be dominant in a transmission media without government regulation and intervention was refuted when AT&T was broken up in the 80's. More recently, no one company can transmit power over a transmission medium either.

AT&T can own the plant, the government will regulate it.

Government regulates competition over power and phone... they will regulate this too, otherwise or any company that owns the cable plant would price gouge.

AOL will be providing service over this cable. It would be nice if AT&T got into bed together to before the government regulates their relationship.
