Jay! Doubt it! <<<<<We've talked about the fact the T will let others access its lines in 2002. We all know that @HOME's agreement expires then. Then its a free for all. Well, maybe not exactly free...>>>>> Who can predict where ATHM will be in 02? As I see it, this is a brilliant ploy by T to win the hearts of 'open' allies! Do you really think that if a deal with AOL is worked out that they would allow other ISPs to share their pipe? Are you ready for set-top? @homs 1.7??? Kevin

Jay, This is where I think that the exclusivity won't matter after 02! Please read and, if you will, let me know if I'm on the right track here! Taken from: yahoo.cnet.com The last few paras. reads: From PC to the TV In the middle of this management shakedown, Excite@Home unveiled its TV set-top box service today at an event at Internet World in New York. A midtown Manhattan apartment was taken over to demonstrate how the "home of the future" could be wired with fast @Home TV and computer connections The second major push in its access strategy, Excite@Home says the service mixes traditional television content with Internet access. Users will be able to click into Net service, read email, or browse through sponsored shopping services while watching TV simultaneously. The company plans to offer the service, scheduled to be available by next year, over a set-top box jointly created by Microsoft. To help drive adoption, Excite@Home plans to offer a free, scaled-back service dubbed Local.TV. This will be available in areas where the cable infrastructure hasn't yet been upgraded for two-way services, and will be supported by advertisements. I feel this will be beyond what we presently know ATHM to be! Thanks, Kevin
