@Home

[Peter R. Wood]

So, I'm confused about this closing down of the @Home network. From what I
can tell as a subscriber to AT&T Broadband (formerly Mediaone) here in
Woburn, the only thing I am going to be missing is the @Home homepage
content (which I never used and don't care about). From the letters and
communications I've seen from ATTBB, it seems that they own the network and
ip services, and all @Home does for them is creates the specialized homepage
content. I have read that other networks which partner with @Home are
actually urging their customers to find backup plans, implying that the loss
of @Home will cause a loss of network connectivity.  But AT&T doesn't seem
to be implying that the loss of @Home will cause ATTBB customers to lose
their net connections. Am I missing something?
