That 'street advisor' is an idiot. The exclusive rights that ATHM has w/ each cable partner are not under attack in Oregon (as he states). The Oregon case is with T, and applies conditions that T must meet if T is to continue to offer cable services to that one community in Oregon. As discussed here, that could be a GOOD thing for T, and even ATHM. ATHM has a unique huge "parallel internet" network, which allows them to provide the high-speed access not just from your PC to a headend (via your cable wire) but beyond that, all the way to the internet backbone. Other ISP's will hopefully need to hook into that to provide ISP service over T's cable wires into Oregon houses. They would need to pay for that hookin. This is all NON-DEFINED in the Oregon case, all that is defined there is that T must allow other ISP's in... I don't own athm, but ignorance really pisses me off, especially in 'writers' who claim to have a clue.
