[to thread] More on regulatory pressure: AT&T's new bid raises federal concern news.com Analysts also said the bid would likely give new weight to cable "open access" proponents, like America Online, who want federal regulators to give outside Internet service providers direct access to cable Internet subscribers. Currently, most cable Internet users must use one of the ISPs affiliated with their cable operator, such as Road Runner or @Home. And the timing issue: MediaOne has about a month to look for a new bid from Comcast, which had already agreed to acquire the company before AT&T's proposal. A final decision should come by the end of May.
