<<The biggest pressure for the RBOC's will come from cable/MSFT but particularly from the new Triad MCI, Worldcomm>> Hi Milkman, I might add to your astute observations one I spied at the ATHM thread yesterday. Yes, the biggest competitive pressures will come from cable & wireless. The wired boys are too chummy. C ya later, steve @HOME (ATHM) To: +Bob Zacks (907 ) From: +Bob Zacks Thursday, Dec 11 1997 3:59PM EST Reply # of 913 AT&T, @HOME NEAR $1.3B deal Anaheim, Calif: AT&T is preparing to forge a potentially important relationship with the cable industry by investing $1.25 billion in @HOME, a company that provides high speed internet service to personal computers via cable wires. The deal, now in the final stages of negotiations, also may bring @HOME together with Worldgate Communications, a fledgling company that uses cable to provide Internet service to subscribers' TV sets. Worldgate is the private co. that came up with the set top box that can use a common TV to surf the net. Great to see them in on the deal . There are many more Tv's than computers and the public is not afraid of TV's . Surf the net from your comfy recliner with a wireless remote , now that's the american dream "Edith get me a beer".
