Hey, I said it too...that MSFT would just get what it really wanted to stay out of the deal.

AT&T has agreed to sweeten the terms of a set-top-box
agreement it has with Microsoft, one source said Monday. Microsoft,
which holds about a 10% stake in Comcast, was the Philadelphia-based
cable company's best hope of countering AT&T's winning $63.7-billion
offer for MediaOne.

    
And it looks like makeup time for T and Comcast...

AT&T is also negotiating to swap some geographically strategic
cable systems with Comcast to make it easier for the family-run rival to
walk away from what it called the "acquisition of a lifetime" when it
agreed to merge with MediaOne in late March. The size and locations of
those systems could not be determined late Monday.


BTW I agree with you on AOL....but the real thing that might have kept Case out, was that, how would he justify not giving everyone else the "open access" that he was crying to the feds about? Of course, the public does have a short memory. My name would have been the first on a petition to get AOL to open its cable!
