<<”The FCC sees this and gave them an exclusive based on a commitment to invest big time and set up a second model with critical mass.”>> The exclusive was to only allow @home to provide the Internet piece (not open up the cable network to other ISPs) thereby causing AOL to go ballistic. <<”I would set up the separate subsidiary and build out a national data network that eventually would replace the regulated piece and stop bitching about the regs.”>> <<It's my thinking this will happen…whether it's by choice or force via deregulation allowing others to freely enter the arena.>> They still want to spend money on lawyers and lobbying and continue the consolidation to get more captive market. Remember we have the best congress that money can buy. Look at Texas where SBC is headquartered and review the track record.
