The text from the WSJ In the face of AT&T's acquisition of MediaOne, which gives AT&T the ability to deliver broadband Web access to more than 60 percent of American homes via cable lines, AOL is looking to establish a nationwide high-speed Internet access network without cable. The company is moving fast to bolster its commitment to DSL technology that delivers high-speed Internet access via copper phone lines at speeds faster than cable, and wants to forge agreements with the Baby Bell phone companies to develop a unified DSL. The Bell companies have been developing DSL for their territories for some time, and AOL now wants to make agreements with all of them and GTE and possibly unify their efforts under the AOL brand.
