RTev, Thanks for the information on Comcast. I did not realize that this family had such control.

"It doesn't sound like they'd be willing to give up the kind of power Microsoft would likely demand for all that cash." But that was before the huge AT&T offer. Now Comcast's choices may be no deal, or deal with Gates. The question just would be, if this hypothetical were to come true, what will they choose. But I agree with you that MSFT would benefit most from staying out of this altogether and focusing on Roadrunner, which suddenly just got a whole lot more interesting for them what with the interest in Maffei. They now have leverage.
