Will I experience any interruptions with my AT&T Broadband high-speed
cable Internet service?
Your AT&T Broadband high-speed cable Internet service connectivity,
e-mail and Personal Web pages will not be affected by Excite at Home's
Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing. However, your home.excite.com home page
may become temporarily unavailable.

What will happen to my high-speed cable Internet service if AT&T
Broadband's proposal to purchase the Excite at Home network is not
approved?

If the proposal to purchase the Excite at Home network is not approved,
your home page content may be temporarily unavailable, but you will
still have access to your e-mail and the Internet.


AT&T is buying the network so they have more network to exact control
over. :)

So I ran up to him, and the exchange went something like this:
Me: Oh my god! You're Larry Niven!
Him: Oh my god! You're Wil Wheaton!
