Internet provider changes
Due to the bankruptcy proceedings of Excite@home, their rejection of AT&T's $307 million buyout offer and subsequent cutoff of all AT&T subscribers, our ISP has changed from AT&T@home to AT&T Broadband Internet. Investors had placed a very high value on the Excite "portal" (a kind of gateway to the Internet that provided some things to look at). They just don't get it -- most of us just want an Internet connection... the portal added zero value! I'm going to laugh long and hard if AT&T ends up buying them out for a small fraction of their previous offer...
June 2003. Guess wnat... AT&T Broadband Internet has been bought by Comcast, which means our ISP has changed again!
