It's difficult to pull off but I believe that the below mentioned fusion is the only realistic way for ATT to precede and it's the most bullish.

I don't want ATT to make a direct investment in ATHM, just enable ATHM to be a fully diversified service provider. If ATT wants to invest in TCI cable plant, that's smart. "The @Home deal may take the form of an investment or AT&T fusing its WorldNet Internet service with @Home's network Here's what Armstrong did announce last Monday: A rollout of AT&T WorldNet Voice, which enables Internet-protocol phone calls. A $1.6 billion cost-cutting target that means the elimination of up to 18,000 jobs, a salary freeze and a management reshuffle A turbo-charge of its existing 40,000 miles of SONET (synchronous optical network) plant by installing 80-wavelength "dense-wave-division multiplexors," made by Lucent Technologies Inc.

The addition of 20 more fiber rings to its existing coast-to-coast network of 32 fiber rings; seven more high-capacity, 4ESS switches to its existing web of 136 switches; and 200 more "edge switches" for data-communications traffic."
