What you are seeing is the relatively slow nature of internet cable installation. I posted some figures a couple of months ago about the expected growth, and I don't recall exactly what they are, but it is something like 15M broadband customers in 2002, of which maybe 1/3 will be on cable. I am going by memory now, so it is not this, but it is something like this. The point is that ATHM will not compete with AOL in sheer numbers for a long long time. That is why they went with XCIT, to have a more immediate impact on eyeballs. But if you are investing in ATHM looking for a broadband cable revolution within the next year or two, you will be disappointed. This is a 3-4-5 year hold. BWDIK
