Robert,

I think even one of the backers of AOL's position would agree with you.

Press Release, January 25, 1999
consunion.org

"...Consumers have virtually no choice, either for cable television or local phone service, and now we have some clarity. The other big problem that Congress did not recognize is the market itself. It is extremely expensive to build the infrastructure to compete with the incumbent monopoly. It has been slow going, and way more expensive than Congress thought. And even with this ruling, we have a long way to go until most consumers see any competition for choice for local phone service and possibly longer for cable television.

Regarding the Consumers Union, also see

I don't know how much clout this organization has, but I wouldn't count them out.

Robert, I agree but just the fact that there will be hearings it will be negative for the stock that is why I said that this will be a good buying opportunity.

If I was afraid that the government was going to force ATHM to give access to cooper and wire ISP. I would put my money on AOL.

I repeat Buying opportunity.
