Hi Frank, Regarding your take on the technological response to the "@Home.....reeling" headline, I believe we are a long way from rewriting the DOCSIS codes. More like we have just gotten past the first inning of the legal wrangling and there's a lot more business-friendly umpires, er, judges, refereeing in the next few innings. Some may find my post on the ATHM thread of interest: Message 9967156 Best, Ry

Frank - I am surprised by the ruling in the Portland Case. The issue of opening up access would seem to belong to the jurisdiction of the FCC, not the local authorities who have decided to use the franchise approval as a wedge to force ATT/TCI to open up access. If ATT lets this go without an appeal, they are opening themselves up to this kind of ruling from municipalities all over the country. It certainly seems like an issue for national policy rather than local policy. I do remember telling you, at an earlier date, that the issue of franchise transfer might be a difficult one for ATT. Ken
