It's gonna take the street awhile to digest MOST of this. The possibilities are endless....... Do current shareholders realize that they now own what very well could be the most prestigous and highly valued company in the world. I think it's a great deal, and don't care about the short term, as I am in this for the long haul, so let em bring it down...I dont care and will simply buy more.

George Bell at Excite@Home is a clueless guy. I think he is one of brain dead guys who cannot do anything right. Street has been treating him accordingly as his (new home) company shares is where it was one year ago. He is a sour graph always jumps like jealousy monkey whenever he sees some one keeps out smarting him every day. I think ATHM is in the process of winding him out from their Excite fiasco. His latest adventure is offering free ISP. It looks like his days are numbered based on this observation: MediaOne owns 25% of Time warner and if T completes MediaOne buy out it will have 25% of TWX part of AOL. Recently there was a big announcement about TWX selling T's services on its cables. I don't think Case will allow this unless he gets some deal. Say they terminate exclusive contract with Excite@Home and start carrying AOL contents in exchange for carrying T's service over AOL's cable. Otherwise AOL may threaten to directly compete against T to provide all bundled services. It will be interesting to see what happens. It looks like there will be more mergers among telcos and cable companies. Here is a link analyzing this situation: cbs.marketwatch.com -Nat
