AOL Time Warner Netscape CNN... and AT&T?

Baldrson noted a bit running on Yahoo right now where the AOL, Time, Warner, Netscape, CNN mega corporation is in talks with AT&T for their cable network. The inevitable and scary consolidation continues ever onward. The US govt will be sold on eBay in a few years, but only Microsoft and the corporation formerly known as Netscape AOL Warner CNN AT&T Time (NAWCAT) will be left to bid. But since Nawcat will already own ebay, there will no doubt be rumors of unfair play.

    That's amazing! Not sure whether it's incredibly arrogant or whether they're just protecting themselves against squatters.

    Some guy already registered aoltimewarnermicrosoft.com. Wonder if his investment will pay off.

  5. if this goes thru by alumshubby · · Score: 3, Funny

    ...does it mean that AOL would finally have enough bandwidth that it wouldn't have response problems during peak usage times? That's one of the frustrations I had with using it.

  6. Re:Isn't RR/TimeWarner to Open to Competitors? by spudnic · · Score: 3, Funny

    Are you unhappy with RR? I move around a lot, so I've had everything from 64k ISDN, 128k ISDN, DSL, @home, and now Road Runner.

    Road Runner is the best by far. Maybe it's just this area, but I have only had one problem in the last 8 months since I moved here, and that was only for about an hour.

    Speed is consistantly fast, I can connect to my machine to do anything I want from the outside, and news groups just fly.

    A guy I work with (a non-tech) was aking if he should switch from dial-up to cable.

    He said, "I bet you can download a lot of dirty pictures over cable."

    I responded, "I don't download dirty pictures anymore."

    He looked a bit confused and asked, "Really?"

    I said, "No, now I download dirty MOVIES!"

    He ordered it that afternoon.

    "electional"? Is that from the George W. Bush dictionary?

    Sounds more like Al Sharpton to me. "And things done got full of electional corrupticizing, ya-yus."

    Oh well, better luck in 2004, guys.

    2004? What the hell are you talking about? The next election is in 1984. I hear Reagan is going to promise no new taxes, and...

    Oh, wait, your right, it is 2001. Sorry, with everything going on over here, I got a little confused.
