C, Couldn't agree more. T will get the attention of the Feds big time with that heavy a concentration of cable assets. AOL should get a much better deal (toll) thru those monopoly cable lines than if they had to purchase UMG to get to RoadRunner. This will allow them to focus on the DSL and wireless strategies while the gov't will take care of the cable strategy by forcing T to open access at reasonable prices. Cooperating with T in the long run should be to AOL's advantage. JMHO. Good luck. JF3

" I don't know why AT&T wants to own the majority of cable access in the US...I mean weren't they already broken up because they were a monopoly? So if they wind up with Media One you can bet your bottom dollar that the feds will FORCE AT&T to allow isps like AOL and other to access those lines and offer their services through them...either way it's a win situation for AOL...I say let AT&T win the battle, they're only gonna lose the war....AGAIN. " Yes, you are absolutely right. IMO
