Something like that but I'm thinking more. Give them an easy ingress. Make it cheap. Set up the procedure to qualify them. Set up the interface prerequisites so that the carrier, @Home, is invisible. Invite them to do broadband the way they want it. The idea is to look for opportunities to serve. What are the tactics so that say, ELNK, can become an @Home broadband partner? First one must define the impediments. Why would Bell or Sky Dayton say, "we can't do that"? So I ask you, what are the impediments.

ATHM doesn't get it. The boobs who run that company don't have a clue. Looking at self installing software: ``It should increase productivity and bring enormous cost savings,'' said Brookstein. Where did they get this guy? This is such a gross exaggeration that it implies the software will actually make things a little worse. He isn't lying. He's just a totally incompetent fool. ``It assumes very little knowledge or skill. If you can put a plug into a plug and a wire into a connection, you should be able to handle it.'' The only way to get performance out of @Home is to disengage their software and apply an appropriate tweak. Otherwise, you might as well stay with 56k. ``As a general rule, they(MSO installers) tend to care less because they are not part of the company,'' Brookstein said. This guy is 2 years out of date. If I were Att, I'd send Bell a memo telling him to gag this fool. He's hurting Att when Att has done a good job. And, in recent discussions with company executives, John O'Farrell, executive vice president of ExciteAtHome's international division, expressed a desire to ``take the technician out of the puzzle.'' He must be kidding or he's making no point at all. Of course they'd like to take the technician out, but it isn't possible. Instead of this continuing denial why not accept the situation and convert an apparent disadvantage into an advantage? They're too stupid, stupid little wind-up kiddies playing corporation as they eat plenty but produce nothing. This is ok with the minority interest. No complaints from the public bag holders.
