More ATHM rumor. . . Excite At Home to Vote on Breakup Proposal, L.A. Times Reports Washington, Sept. 30 (Bloomberg) -- Excite At Home Corp.'s board is preparing to vote on whether to divide the online service into two companies, the Los Angeles Times reported, citing unnamed people close to the situation. AT&T Corp., Excite At Home's largest shareholder, sent a proposal to the Excite At Home board this week calling for separating the company's distribution and content assets, the newspaper said. Cox Communications Inc., which has the right to veto the proposal, has opposed the breakup since the idea emerged informally several months ago, the Times said. I would personally like to see ATHM and EXCITE go their own ways. . .I never liked that marraige from the beginning. . .it is sort of like McDonalds and TGIFridays merging . . . and calling itself TGI McDonalds. This rumor is more believable. . .but doesn't affect stock price. . .which also makes it more reliable. . and I hope it happens. Rande Is
