Steve - Please respond to post on ATHM. Is all this good news true ? Thanks (found on YAHOO!).... For those of you who don't understand what is at stake here for AOL, ATT and others, let me spell it out for you as an industry insider. AOL and ATT must buy ATHM very soon now because ATHM will be the the next generation internet pipeline for over 60 million homes and business (this figure is growing at 500% every 9-12 months). In short, what ATHM does is offer internet service and content to customers at 100 times faster rates than a 56KbS modem. Fiber cable is at least 20 years away, and probably won't ever happen. Wireless does not have the bandwidth to do the job for upload and download. It's also damned expensive (just look at IRIDIUM's failure to see one example). ATHM is the ONLY option for the internet to grow and provide "live" video content. TWO years from now, you will be surfing the net through cable and paying LESS than you do now for dial-up access. If you are surfing from a business location, this is also true. ATHM is going to reap ALL those benefits and if it is not bought out at about $300.00 post split within a year, it will be at $1000.00 a share within 3 years. Just buy it now and sit back. AOL and everyone else will come calling real soon. That's why Harmon called ATHM "AOL on steroids" for 1999. See you at Vail next winter if you follow my advice and buy ATHM right now. Happy (ski) trails!
