Here's info about a deal AT&T has struck with a couple of the local governments that were threatening to block the transfer of the TCI cable franchise unless they opened cable modem access to competition:

Here's the part of the deal that affects AOL, should they decide to offer service:

"The deal will allow companies such as America Online and Mind Spring to offer service as fast and glitch-free as AT&T's own product, @Home.

"But AT&T retains a significant price advantage, as it will still cost much less to buy TCI's @Home than any of the competitors. Customers will be able to get Internet access from @Home for $39.95 a month. But to get another service, they will have to pay the $39.95 monthly charge, plus the cost of the other service. "

So what do you think? Will AOL still be able to get customers when it's an add-on fee to the high-speed internet access?
