Re: [PLUG] @home

["Arthur S. Alexion" <arthur@alexion.com>]

Where, physically, does comcast begin and @home end?  does the proxy server 
I connect through, in Willow Grove, belong to comcast or @home?  That is, 
is @home more than a brand and a home page?  Do they own the hardware pipes 
or just the intangible intellectual property?  I find the news reports very 
confusing when it comes to reporting what this REALLY means. (probably 
because the business reporters don't understand the technical end) It is 
also bizarre that the report is the bankruptcy is caused by the cable 
franchisees not paying @home enough, but at the same time, it is reported 
that @home is a "partnership" of (i.e. owned by) the cable company 
franchisees???
