<Please tell me this ATHM nightmare is over.> It all depends on management... if Jermoluk, Bell, and Armstrong wake up... then ATHM will go up. They need to, at least, appear to know where they are going... and make that vision clear to the street. Up until now, they have looked like the Three Stooges in CEO Follies. Mike

Please tell me this ATHM nightmare is over. Ed It's over Ed. I specialize it finding undervalued stocks in hot sectors. Lately DSL, Wireless and Fiber Optics have been all the rage Stocks associated with Cable Modems have been suffering. ATHM is a good buy here. It was a better buy earlier today when it broke down below the lower bollinger band. It may take a while to consolidate but those who wait too long will regret it. There is room for a lot of winners in the Broadband Revolution. I know I personally am ready for lots more speed! I don't care what form I get that speed delivered to me; Cable Modem, DSL, T1 Line, Satellite, or Wireless. I do know my stock investments will help pay for it because.... Combining sound technical analysis with hot sector investing pays off in a big way! RTS

T to divest either ATHM or RR Wednesday March 8, 7:45 pm Eastern Time AT&T, MediaOne offering cable Internet divestiture By Aaron Pressman WASHINGTON, March 8 (Reuters) - AT&T Corp. (NYSE:T - news), bidding to become the largest cable television operator with its proposed purchase of MediaOne Group Inc. (NYSE:UMG - news), is offering to divest a cable Internet service to appease federal antitrust regulators, people familiar with the deal said on Wednesday. AT&T, by virtue of its completed acquisition of Tele-Communications Inc., owns a large stake in high-speed cable Internet provider Excite AtHome Corp.(NasdaqNM:ATHM - news) MediaOne is a joint owner with Time Warner Inc. (NYSE:TWX - news) in the similar Road Runner service. The potential combined ownership of stakes in the only two significant high-speed cable Internet services has been a stumbling block with antitrust regulators at the Department of Justice. After resisting a divestiture for some time, the companies are now willing to shed one of the stakes, people familiar with the deal said. They did not specify which service would be divested. Such a move would likely speed Justice Department approval, but would have little effect on the Federal Communications Commission's separate and independent review that has focused on other issues. The issue has become increasingly convoluted following America Online's (NYSE:AOL - news) proposed acquisition of Time Warner. Road Runner has an exclusive contract with Time Warner and MediaOne requiring that their customers use its Internet service, but AOL has said it will seek to end the exclusivity as soon as possible. AT&T, MediaOne and Excite AtHome declined to comment. A spokeswoman for the Justice Department said only that the agency's antitrust review was continuing. At the end of 1999, Excite AtHome had about 1.15 million subscribers to its high-speed Internet service that reaches cable customers of AT&T, Cox Communications (NYSE:COX - news) and Comcast (NasdaqNM:CMCSA - news). AT&T owns 26 percent of Excite AtHome but a 58 percent voting stake. Comcast and Cox have the ability to veto major decisions, however. Road Runner, which is not publicly traded, has about 550,000 subscribers in cable systems owned by Time Warner and MediaOne.
