You guys are forgetting about the ACTV interactive advertising piece of the puzzel !

The master plan, AT&T + TCI + ATHOME + LIBERTY MEDIA + ACTV INC. + General Instrument + Scientific Atlanta + Fox Sports + News Corp = $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

The subscription rates could be subsidized by the growth of Hyper Tv's ability to push, or allow customers to pull information or access PPV events from thier Digital Set Top boxes. Dont forget Interactive sports events.

All adds up to revenue stream for all of the players !

The ACTV technology is unknown by Joe Blow public,
soon it will become a house hold name,

When it does, ATHOME will already be "in the home"

pipeline delivers content !!!!!!!!!!!

If you have 50 to 60 percent of the audience your going to make money!

The question is if ATHM can command 50-60% of audience. But for now, it's hard to justify a 0 subscription fee with only 600K audience.
You must be very optimistic to assume ATHM can command 50-60% audience.
