AT&T is buying MSN? It beats me to figure out the logic behind this.
AT&T is trying to sell World Net to @Home. Then why on earth AT&T is going to buy MSN? World Net to AT&T is the same as MSN to Microsoft, none of it a money maker yet, although World Net is in better shape than MSN. If this is proven to be true, obviously AT&T is to buy MSN on behalf of @Home to accelerate the growth of the @Home empire.

MSN+WorldNet+Excite+@Home+TCI+AT&T, What a power house in the making!! If the future can't be ours, whose can it be?!

Amstrong turned Hughes Electronics into a great success. In his short tenure with Hughes, he transformed it from a defense conglomerate to a consumer giant, especially the huge success of DirecTV. DirecTV is Amstrong's brain child. Now Amstrong is like a Godfather to @Home. Can it be a failure? Amstrong will not allow it.

Thanks - based on the article, it looks like Excite was AT&T's answer.

MSFT buys ATHM....gets Excite and RealAudio in the bargain..

MSN is a waste of bandwidth.....trade it to AT&T for their portion of ATHM....hmmmmm...
