AT&T Thinking About Buying Some Of What's Left Of Excite@Home
from the wait-until-the-very-end... dept
As Excite@Home gets closer and closer to shutting down the rumors of AT&T buying at least enough to keep the broadband access going get stronger and stronger. Of course, there would seem to be a conflict of interest, since AT&T sits on Excite@Home's board, but the worse things get for them, the cheaper it will be for AT&T to snap up the pieces.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
