I don't think the Oregon Ruling will do much harm to the business of @Home. It only takes @Home 3 years to ramp up the subscriber base. Most of the local governments have approved the license transfer and it's unlikely they will demand open access until the next renewal time. And AT&T will appeal and this situation will drag on for months and years. Aside from that, T will charge dialup ISP heavily for the ride. There are also technical difficulty for AOL to get on the cable line. It could be 3-4 years later when cable will be fully open. There is nothing to worry about. Most likely, the Oregan Ruling will be overturned.
