No one could make any money at that kind of monthly fee. It's only a rumor, at most, it might be just good-for-6-months kind of deal.

It is not subscription fee that matters. It is availability. I'd like to pay $60/month to have TCI@Home, but I can NOT get it. It is simply not available in my area. I was told by @home rep that by yearend, it will be available in my area. I doubt it. It is not like ISP, since I can switch to ISP I like in a second for $20/month. The TCI@Home is what I want but I am unable to get it. $40/month is already reasonably good enough, don't you see today that Dell charges $29/month for limited access, then extra phone line. Larry Z

I think were going down the wrong road when we look at the subscription cost. TV started out free and I believe in the future cable TV will be free with a bunch of things to add on if you want them. T is looking to the future of getting people to look at what they have to offer, which will increase there ads. Look at the amount of money that CNBC must pay everyone and they still show a very nice profit I believe. If you have 50 to 60 percent of the audience your going to make money!
