@Home is growing fast. But I feel it should grow faster. Why not? I think the following a few factors can explain that: 1) Money. Lack of money on the TCI side to upgrade the cable. 2) Personnel. Lack of enough technicians to go to every houses to have it installed in the upgraded area. 3) Lack of aggressive bombardment of advertisements to increase public awareness of the @Home service. Factor 2,and 3 are attributed to 1). So I think Money is fundamental issue. Is AT&T going to pitch in the money to help out? I heard it needs $46 billion to upgrade TCI's aging Cable infrastructure, a dunting number to me. With money, they can speed up the upgrade, hire more technicians and lunching aggressive advertisement campaign. But, who is going to offer $46 billion? when? and how? I wish some wise people can offer some hints. I hope Ahhaha can shed some light on this.
