"I would place my money on AOL leasing AT&T's pipes, and offering a discount to their subscribers who want the speed of Cable. This would be in addition to offering a range of choices, at different prices, for regular access, & for DSL... AOL would then continue along its chosen path, and AT&T would be free to develop ATHM. & the regulators would be pacified." Plausible, from a technical perspective, if some of the other barriers that exist were lifted or reduced. But of course, with some obvious restrictions. AOL would need to use auto-sensing to determine what access method each user was using in a real time, dynmaic way. Result would be multiple http / html schemes under dynamic determination and allocation. That is, of course, unless the 28.8 user was waiting for a screen presentation that was designed for a broadband splash! @Oi!
