Time to pull out the secret weapon. You tell em Milo. A little more detail on todays upcoming Press Conference: Note the choice of the phrase "Forced Access" <g>. I wonder if the people's representatives from Virginia are invited. **** (PR NEWSWIRE) Excite@Home Founder and Chief Technology Officer, Milo Medin Excite@Home Founder and Chief Technology Officer, Milo Medin to Address The Forced Access Cable Issue at Wednesday Press Conference What: As a follow-up to the response release issued by Excite@Home on Tuesday, June 15, Excite@Home senior executive, Milo Medin will provide a more comprehensive analysis of the issues surrounding universal ISP access to broadband cable. The objective is to address misleading conclusions made by GTE and AOL based on their limited Clearwater, FL demonstration project. It is Excite@Home's belief that significant technology and customer issues that were glossed over in GTE's claims need to be addressed before making universal business assertions and forcibly bringing in the government and adding unnecessary regulations to a rapidly growing market. Milo Medin will specifically address the substantive issues that are critical to volume rollout of cable Internet services.
