ahhaha, It seems to me if Excite is eventually spun off, ATHM will revert back to being the infrastructure for all other Isps who want to go through cable. Doesn't this give them a true monopolistic position, like being the only utility co for cable internet? (unless of course AOL or MSPG builds their own). Is this an accurate interpretation?

Here is the reason why we on -ve today. This is yet another "smart" move by Rev. Jermo and his cronies. -Nat biz.yahoo.com In October ExciteAtHome said it had agreed to buy Bluemountain.com, the No. 1 online greeting card company, for at least $780 million in cash and stock. The acquisition requires a $350 million cash payment, and the proceeds from the note offering will provide those funds, ExciteAtHome said. ATHM is bribing about $50M to the Street to get them approve of this 'smart' move in MHO.
