"...what one could have done with 110 billion dollars from scratch?" Frank- But you have to consider the cable assets were generating real, here and now, revenues the day they were turned over to ATT. With over 1/3rd of the USA cable subscribers onboard and writing checks, it was a mighty installed based they were buying. And IMO, they would be a lot more successful if the FCC lifted the 30% ownership cap rule which is really outdated today. I've never heard anyone argue that ATT's plan was not the greatest single shot that finally got broadband access to start rolling out by the millions. No amount of rule making by the government did what Mike Armstrong did. I think the FCC should kiss Armstrong's feet for this. -MikeM(From Florida)
