A Step Closer (Or Not) To Cable ISP Diversity
Tom Veil writes: "Yahoo! posted a story saying that AT&T Broadband and Comcast have both made agreements to work with other ISPs in order to allow them to provide service through cable systems. The Earthlink/AT&T deal appears to be set at this point, but they haven't received FCC approval. Don't suppose this means we'll be seeing free NetZero cable, but hopefully competition will kick in and make things more affordable for cheapskates like me." Bear in mind that both companies provide cable Internet service and are seeking regulatory approval for a merger. They have good reason to sidestep suspicions that the result would be a strangling monopoly.
...but looks like FP opportunity! Why the hell not? . . .

Don't Bogart the fish sticks
Ok, I've never posted to /. complaining about spelling before. In fact, I've modded down people complaining about spelling errors. I could care less. As long as I understand what taco means, it's no problem.
But what the #&%$! did you mean by "stangling," timothy? I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that you meant to say "staggering." Upon careful examination of my keyboard, I cannot begin to imagine how you made that particular typo. It involves at least three key misses, all of which you must have typed with the *wrong* *hand*.
Someone please explain this to me. Is "stangling" some new kind of slang word? Am I completely out of the loop? That would make a lot more sense.
Either that, or timothy is even more drunk than I am... Nah.
There are no trails. There are no trees out here.
