Not likely ATHM to be bought out. T owns 28% of ATHM. Unless T buys ATHM.

Road Runner may be a merger candidate

A Road Runner, @Home Network combination may now be more of a possibility following the multibillion-dollar
merger between Comcast and MediaOne, according to analysts.

When Comcast announced it would acquire MediaOne Group yesterday, the $60 billion deal cast further uncertainty over the
future of Road Runner.

The broadband Internet access service has huge potential, and with the help of large cable partners such as leading cable
operator Time Warner Cable and MediaOne, its subscriber base is growing. Road Runner also has access to Time Warner's
content, and financial backing from industry giants Microsoft and Compaq Computer.

But despite these assets and strong subscriber numbers in many of its early markets--Road Runner finished 1998 with 180,000
customers--the company is still without a full-time chief executive, is marketing its service under two different names, and is
leaving many promises unfulfilled.
