Um, didn't Armstrong already indicate that T's cable infrastructure would be open to other providers? I thought this was old news. Mark

"Have any At&T share holders seen the short article on last week's Barron's? It is strange that AOl is requesting government regulation so that they can use AT&T's cable network essentially for free, which At&T spent tons of money to establish. As AT&T share holders, I think this is outrageous." That's just how MCI got started...they got the government to allow them to use AT&T's lines...of course they were only interested in the traffic between the major metropolitan centers...they didn't give a hoot about the stuff way out in the barren and sparsely populated places like Montana, North and South Dakota, Wyoming, etc....there was no money to be made there. As an AT&T stockholder and a then active employee of the AT&T (now retired) I couldn't believe that they would ever be given the use of existing lines built and maintained by another company but I and millions more were wrong.
