I'm looking forward to hearing what Time Warner has to say as well as the thinking of Wall Street analysts. Ben Golant Cable Bureau FCC My opinions, not the agency's. @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ Moderator: We're beginning to see the feeding frenzy as the sharks start grabbing and squabbling. The AT&T thread traces one jurassic-shark's current skirmishes. This is the shakeout phase as the robber-baron regime takes shape. Anyone want to predict winners, losers, and the likely structure of the new markets? What will be the new-world perspective coming out of the merger of telecom and media-content mentalities? -rkm @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ ~=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=~=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=~--~=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=~=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=~ Posted by Richard K.
