At this point I'm surprised anyone can put a positive spin on anything ATHM related. ATHM has got to have the crapiest management I have seen yet.

Just a minor point, Uriel.... ATHM is not T's to sell. They own stock in ATHM but do not own the company. DocStone

Selling ATHM to AOL in return for a stake in AOL and right to distribute content could make sense. This would lock out WCOM who is T's main nemesis. Content creation and distribution should be aligned dailynews.yahoo.com Excerpts follow: Schroder & Co. analyst Arthur Newman said Thursday's rise reflected comments by AOL Chairman Steve Case, who said at a conference on Wednesday that the company was in talks about possible partnerships with AT&T and other companies. Investors were responding to the speech, even though the two companies have been in talks before, he said. ``People are looking for some kind of relationship between AT&T and AOL at some point,' Newman said. ``Every time they say they are in talks people are going to start paying attention again.' AT&T spokeswoman Adele Ambrose said AOL was one of the companies that AT&T was in discussions with about a number of possible deals. ``We're talking to a lot of people about a lot of things including them,' she said in a telephone interview. AT&T said in a statement it remained open to any discussions with Internet service providers but that it would honor its contract with ExciteAtHome (NasdaqNM:ATHM - news). AT&T's current cable Internet service requires that customers use ExciteAtHome, which is owned largely by AT&T and cable partners Comcast Corp. (NasdaqNM:CMCSA - news) and Cox Communications Inc.
