To: Frank C. and Denver Techie: I could not get an answer to this question on the Nortel thread so I want your technical advice.

Mike M and Frank: This is an example of what we are talking about. Portland Tells AT&T/TCI To Offer Access to Cable Modem Platform Posted November 18, 1998 06:00 PM PST The following information has been excerpted from the November 18, 1998 edition of TR Daily. The local Mount Hood Cable Regulatory Commission has recommended that Tele-Communications, Inc., be allowed to transfer control to AT&T Corp. of two cable TV franchises in the Portland, Ore., area. But that recommendation came with a condition that AT&T and TCI, which announced plans earlier this year to merge (TR, June 24), won't like. The commission said they will have to let other companies use their cable modem platform to provide high-speed data and Internet services.
