Now Microsoft wants in!!! Either way @Home wins!! This isn't about @home losing anything, it's about the biggest players all wanting a piece of the action. I love it! cnnfn.com @Home is in such a sweet position. It's obvious they have something for which the biggest players are willing to fight. Comcast is an @Home partner and quite frankly one of the strongest at rolling out the service. Comcast wouldn't be "dropping" a gold mine investment in @Home by any stretch of the imagination. It's more about keeping ATT from cornering to much of the market and ownership of @Home. Microsoft wants to partner with Comcast to get in on the Broadband and will have more reason to push @Home with Comcast. Comcast has been a great partner and will continue to be. I like the thought of Comcast, Microsoft, and ATT all being in bed with this investment. These Giants wouldn't let @Home fail. The more diverse ownership will also keep the scales more balanced in the boardroom. Either deal puts a Roadrunner/@Home deal closer to fruition. This is truly an exciting affirmation for @Home.
