The following from the CHTR thread: Information from Hoovers: Paul Allen's info-bahn is a cable route, and Charter Communications -- the #7 US cable company, with 3.9 million cable subscribers in 27 US states -- leads the way. A subsidiary of Allen's Vulcan Northwest, Charter has merged with Marcus Cable (another Allen purchase). Its proposed purchase of Los Angeles-based Falcon Cable will make Charter the #4 cable company (Time Warner is #1). Charter, founded in 1993, is not just a cable king. In St. Louis and Los Angeles it has partnered with WorldGate (cable-based Internet access via TV) and Wink (interactive TV services). With EarthLink, it offers cable-based Internet access in California, Connecticut, Missouri, and Georgia cities, including Los Angeles and St. Louis.
