the vision is personalization across multiple platforms So imagine Excite allows you to access a personalized portal from anywhere (they pretty much do that already). Why does that make me pick @home for my ISP? By definition they are making it portable to any ISP. The real issue is what @home can offer only to @home customers that stands apart from the rest. The answer of course is a seriously cool broadband framework that requires the kind of quality pipe all the way from server to customer that only ATHM provides. Note: OTHER peoples content to an Excite framework. They have at least taken a small step in that direction linking with Akamai et al. So far they have completely failed to realize the potential here. Excite had a huge database of "profiles" that have been marketed when the @Home service became available in their areas. So they say. I'm bombarded with @home commercials over the TV but I sign up for @home because of an e-mail I get from Excite? Hmmm.... Nothing easier to ignore in the world than an e-mail. Eric
