Raymond,
Thanks for the insights from lovely Oregon; you've helped ease the pain a bit going into the weekend. I'm sticking with Armstrong, Bell, Jermolak and company and looking forward to being a lot higher on December 31, 1999 than we are now. Good luck to all ATHM longs.
Regards,
Craig A. Anderson

very well put...living in Portland, OR for the last 5 years taught me that Oregon is proud of being the first of many half baked non sense ideas and I am glad to the rest of country ignores most of Oregon's initiative eventually.

AT&T told to open cable access lines AOL shares soar, ExciteAtHome stock plunges on ruling

By Jeffry Bartash & Bambi Francisco, CBS MarketWatch
Last Update: 8:57 PM ET Jun 4, 1999

What price access?

Left unanswered in the judge's ruling is another, perhaps more critical, issue: How much should AT&T be allowed to charge for access to its cable lines. AT&T could charge such a high amount, for example, that it would still be cheaper for consumers to purchase its AtHome cable Internet service than that of a rival provider like AOL.

If that happens, ISPs would likely have to go back to court in pursuit of limits on how much AT&T could charge.

For AT&T, the ruling is much less a blow than it is for AtHome. Even if it eventually loses the appeal -- a process that could take up to a year or more -- Ma Bell still stands to profit handsomely. The ISPs will have to pay up no matter what.

"Nobody is asking AT&T to give away their access. Let AT&T make a fortune charging access. The customers will win. The competitors will win. And AT&T will win," said Jeffrey Kagan, an independent telecom analyst based in Atlanta. "The only negative ... from AT&T's perspective (is) that they have to let competitors use their facilities."

The only problem is:

1. cities like LA, Seattle and others have similar proposals
2. Cable companies are not exactly held in high esteem. Many feel that they charge too much for services rendered.
3. Elections are coming, and politicians like to be rally against things like ohhh....Cable monopolies that raise rates and don't provide increased service.

More on the trend of govt. intervening in cable (and it's not just leftist anti-capitalist bureaucrats in the Pac NW---take a look at the leading edge in Kentucky, Tennessee and Alabama): 207.69.235.40
