[aclug-L] FYI, Cox & excite@home related

[Greg House <ghouse@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I thought this might interest some of you. I didn't know Cox was related to 
@home before I read this. So you may see service issues as excite@home goes 
under.

News and commentary for owners of home-based businesses
By Michael Warshaw


The announcement of Excite@Home's bankruptcy earlier this week was hardly
news. The struggling broadband provider had been cutting costs and fighting
off fiscal failure for months. The real news of the announcement was in the
multitude of cable modem users suddenly left wondering if their Internet
connection would survive the latest dot-com debacle.

Excite@Home doesn't just provide cable service to it's own customers, it
also provides it to Comcast, Cox, and AT&T subscribers. If service is
interrupted because of financial squabbles, or if the dwindling number of
broadband providers leads to higher prices and poorer service, millions can
be affected.
