CHTR....This month Paul Allen, 46, makes his boldest move yet. In two years he has cobbled together the nation's fourth-largest portfolio of cable systems, serving 6.2 million homes in the South, Midwest, southern California and elsewhere. Now he is staging one of the biggest initial public offerings on record, hoping to raise about $3.5 billion for his cable firm, Charter Communications. Allen won't talk about it--he's still in an SEC-imposed blackout period--but the offering provides the best blueprint yet for the emerging strategy of one of the world's most enigmatic empire builders.
