All Dell 93 15/16 -7 15/16 Boomerang Economy so calif track of 1 million dollar homes now. Middle disappearing where not to the million dollar homes. Stock market perpetual up now. Such things as wireless why not because problems of course one day someone is not going to realize it is a problem and solve it. Inflation heck no unless you are one of the middle who slid down instead of into the million dollar home. Talk to your wives guys. Wisdom is moderation. Sight is not just the perimeter of your bank account it is the world. Timing want to try earth quakes you can't. Just be nimble day to day.

Jay, from your newsclip, and from other sources in the recent past, "Consumers wanting to use another ISP, such as AOL, MSN or others, would be forced to pay extra. King County wants the company to provide its high-speed lines without forcing the consumer to pay for the company's ISP." Don't the principlas here (T, TCI AOL NSN etc) have it backwards? Why should the subs take it in the neck and pay more? Shouldn't the additional costs be amortized over AOL's revenues, or from whomever's, as a means of fair contribution to the buildout and upgrade expenses? There should be, IMO, a viable means of reconciling these cost allocations, although I'm not comfortable with the potential of this coming to fruition purely from an architectural standpoint... see my other posts on this, both here in ATHM, and in the Last Mile thread. Where does T and AOL get off automatically assigning the additional costs "directly" to the end users? Curious, how even these opposing entities default to putting it to the end users, without attempting to reconcile some straightforward plant investment details. Just my two packets... Regards, Frank Coluccio

The King County Budget and Fiscal Management Committee today agreed unanimously to deny a request from TCI to transfer control of its cable franchise in unincorporated King County to AT&T. I think I recall this being responded to by T and it was something along the lines that local counties do not have the right to over rule laws made at a higher level. In other words, if the feds say it is ok for T to have all of what TCI owns, then some local county can not veto that decision. Otherwise every county in the nation would start doing crazy things. If business X bought all of MacDonalds do all the counties in the nation have the right to refuse the merger and transfer of assets? I think not.
