Ot At best, I view this as an ill-advised approach for AOL to be taking, or more likely, a stalling tactic designed for maximum smoke effect with the hope of distracting ATHM while AOL prepares other solutions, of which there are a growing number. Taking this tack, AOL would be better served using DSL for the moment, or wireless and other cable systems who are non-aligned with ATHM, until a truly broadband landscape over cable manifests itself sometime in the future. We ain't there yet. The sorry fact is that, if AOL were to gain access via cable (on ATHM's consortia systems), neither party would win. Both would come out looking like 9.6 kilobitsville. Could this be some of T's concerns re ATHM after picking up TCI and a huge problem with it. Theoretical assumptions versus construction, easements etc. are some times not in sync.
