AT&T Ends Bid To Buy @Home Assets

Posted by Hemos on from the ending-it-all dept.

thumbtack writes: "In the neverending story of the @home saga it's being reported (on the Excite Portal which is not going under) that AT&T has broken off their bid to purchase Excite@home assets. They cite a number of significant contractual breaches and other violations by the bankrupt broadband Internet access company. In another related story Comcast and Cox say they have inked separate $160 million dollar deals to continued service while they develop their own networks. AT&T say that as of Tuesday morning they have moved 500,000 of their subscribers over to their network."

    This wouldn't have happened if people didn't Dump broadband and dug out their modems. Sorry, just occured to me and I couldn't resist. If you didn't read the comments with the story, now would be a good time (it's worth a chuckle).

    From your atrocious spelling and poor arithmetic I'm guessing you're a student at Iowa State. Am I right?
