Rocket, If ATHM had not pursued that Excite merger, and focused on BB service, maybe they would have achieved a higher sub growth rate While I agree with your point about the content purchase being a bad move I don't know that ATHM would have any more subs without it. Available footprint and install manpower are the long poles in the sub growth tent. Maybe they could have made a nominal increase and marketed the @Home brand (uh ohhh, the B word) however ATHM has been footprint bound. KB
