Here is another mans opinion: Subj: AT&T deal By: rftech10 Date: Dec 31 1997 2:40 P.M PST Reply To: Msg. 291 by nick205 This is just speculation on my part, but if there is a deal I would assume that AT&T will hvae the right to rent "ports" or node space from @Home so they can market a high speed Worldnet service. I would think that such a arrangement would be similar to the arrangement that MSN, GTE and Earthlink have with UU.net, where they rent the dial in ports from uu.net, but provide customer service, servers and billing themselves, all the overhead costs that have a tendancy to greatly escelate. Any deal that AT&T makes with @Home will be a positive with @Home, and again, I dont think any deal can be made without a provision to use AT&Ts internet backbone. When @Home gets more users, as they will this year, their need for Bandwidth will escelate drastically, and the costs associated with useing a high speed backbone will get quite hairy unless they have "strike a deal".
