The company, which had 310,000 subscribers at the end of December, will be able to sell the service to 60 million homes by 2001 as it builds out its infrastructure, said Charles Moldow, vice president of sales and marketing for @Home. He spoke at Harvard Business School's "Cyberposium" technology conference in Boston. @Home, which uses QUOTE SNAPSHOT February 21, 1999, 4:30 p.m. PT ATHM 0.0000 0.0000 0.00% XCIT 0.0000 0.0000 0.00% by symbol by name > more from CNET Investor Quotes delayed 20+ minutes existing cable TV lines to link personal computers in homes and businesses to the Internet at high speeds, had 1998 revenue of $48 million. The company agreed last month to buy No. 2 Internet search directory Excite, which had $154.1 million in revenue last year. That purchase doesn't mean @Home won't continue to strike partnerships with Excite competitors, Moldow said. "Even with the Excite acquisitions, we're still talking with Yahoo, Microsoft, and America Online about working together," he said. He didn't elaborate on what type of partnerships. @Home's "churn" rate, or the percentage of subscribers who cancel their service, is less than 3.5 percent, Moldow said. "Unavoided churn--people who die or move--is 4.5 percent," he said. "So it means [customers] aren't moving and aren't dying." Copyright 1999, Bloomberg L.P. All Rights Reserved.
