Excite@Home Bondholders To Sue
from the big-surprise-there dept
Well, this was very much expected, but Excite@Home's bondholders are now saying they're going to sue AT&T, saying AT&T's $307 million offer was a sham to string Excite@Home along while AT&T set up it's own network. I'm sorry, but I think this is ridiculous. These creditors keep saying that their network was worth more, yet couldn't find anyone to actually offer more. Now, because AT&T did the smart thing and called their bluff, by building their own network as quickly as possible, they want to sue? They should just admit they made a very very bad investment and go home.
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.
