DELL & ATHM? Interesting pieces coming together. I wonder what they mean. A few excerpts from a ragingbull newsletter:

****
Dell Computer (DELL) this week officially launched DellNet, a free Internet service in the United Kingdom, with plans to roll out similar free ISPs in Germany and France shortly. In the U.K., DellNet will rely on British Telecommunications' (BTY) networks, and integrate content from Excite At Home's (ATHM) Excite portal site into the service.
...
I believe Dell's move foreshadows the company's entrance into the U.S. ISP business somehow in the next few months.
...
In a conference call last month, Dell founder and Chief Executive Michael Dell told analysts that Dell was exploring plans to make "the PC look like a cable-TV subscription."

Dell does a free ISP with ATHM content, then says he has a goal to make PC's more like cable. Hmmm...
