Cable Modem Hacking Goes Mainstream -- An ambitious hackware project promises to bring illicit broadband "uncapping" to the masses, and with it the risks that come with high-speed hijinks.
From a pitiable 56kbps AOL dial-up somewhere in suburban Colorado, 19-year-old Myko Hein would like to tap out this sad, regretful message to the powers-that-be at his former cable Internet provider, AT&T Broadband: I was wrong. It'll never happen again. Please take me back. Just last month Hein thought of AT&T's service as unbearably slow -- acceptable, perhaps, for sending e-mail, but pure molasses when it came to trading software in Internet chat rooms. Hein's thirst for speed finally drove him to employ a sophisticated hack that "uncapped" his cable modem, obliterating the bandwidth limit imposed by the company, and granting him speed beyond the dreams of hotwired youth. But it only took six hours for AT&T to catch Hein, cut him off, and ban him from their network for life. "They said they considered it theft of service," recalls Hein. "There were no second chances."

AT&T Arranges for Purchase of AT&T Canada Shares
AT&T today said it has arranged for the public shares of AT&T Canada to be purchased, which will satisfy its obligation to AT&T Canada shareholders under the terms of a 1999 merger agreement. AT&T has designated two subsidiaries of Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (CIBC) to purchase the AT&T Canada shares that AT&T does not currently own. The purchase by the subsidiaries is subject to certain conditions, including CIBC selling the subsidiaries to other Canadian investors by August 15, 2002, or AT&T will designate a different purchaser. AT&T plans to fund the purchase price of the AT&T Canada shares, currently estimated to aggregate approximately $3.4 billion. AT&T will retain its approximately 31 percent economic interest in AT&T Canada. -- Article at Yahoo is no longer available.



AT&T to provide satellites for Connexion by Boeing
AT&T Digital Media Centers yesterday announced that it has signed a contract to provide the satellites and ground-station connections for the Connexion by Boeing in-flight broadband Internet service. "One of the beauties of our business model is we don't have to own a single satellite," said Connexion spokesman Sean Griffin. Through the deal, Connexion will have access to AT&T's network of satellites and ground connections above U.S. territories and waters, allowing The Boeing Co. to link its planes to the Internet. Connexion handles all the servers and processing on board aircraft to deliver Internet and entertainment to displays at each seat.

FCC Seeks Data from AT&T, Comcast
Federal regulators are demanding more information on a range of business topics from AT&T Broadband and Comcast Corp., the two MSOs seeking approval to merge and create the largest cable company ever. The Federal Communications Commission sent the two firms a letter June 11 asking dozen of questions on such issues as programming contracts, Internet access, local phone service and service charges. The companies need to reply by July 2. -- Article by Ted Hearn at MultiChannelNews is no longer available.



CWA Voices Support for AT&T-Comcast
The Communications Workers of America announced its support Friday for the proposed merger between AT&T Broadband and Comcast Corp. In a press release, the labor union said the merger would help to create new high-quality industry jobs and lead to the expansion of high-speed Internet-access deployments. The union said it held discussions with executives at both AT&T Broadband and Comcast, and it decided that the merger would likely lead to more positive labor relations. The CWA admitted that it’s had concerns about the merger, but it now believes the potential benefits outweigh the drawbacks. -- Article by Monica Hogan at MultiChannelNews is no longer available.



Pittsburgh Nixes AT&T-Comcast
The Cable Communications Advisory Commission of Pittsburgh has narrowly voted against the merger of AT&T Broadband and Comcast Corp. Of the seven commissioners voting Monday, only two favored the transfer of ownership from AT&T Broadband to the new corporation, AT&T Comcast. Five voted against the merger, according to Rodney Akers, the city's assistant director of the department of general services. The commission apparently believes that the transfer document doesn't do enough to ensure that a rebuild, currently behind schedule, will be completed. -- Article by Linda Haugsted at MultiChannelNews is no longer available.



Portland Approves AT&T-Comcast Transfer
The AT&T Broadband-Comcast Corp. merger cleared a hurdle when Portland, Ore., commissioners approved the transfer of AT&T Broadband’s cable franchise to the new entity by a 4-0 vote. Portland was the community that opened the open-access controversy during its last major transfer. As it did in the Tele-Communications Inc.-AT&T Corp. transfer hearing, Portland sought concessions in exchange for this approval. But unlike the TCI proceeding, the issues were local. -- Article at MultiChannelNews is no longer available.



AT&T Realigns Credit For Comcast Deal
AT&T is moving to renegotiate all or part of an $8 billion credit line in order to ensure its cable/broadband unit can merge with Comcast Corp. The move, which the company detailed in a regulatory filing, comes after credit rating agencies downgraded the phone giant's rating, effectively increasing its interest rate on borrowing costs by about $50 million.

AT&T Broadband sale stymied
The bleak outlook for AT&T Corp.'s consumer long-distance business is complicating the New York-based company's efforts to close the $71.5 billion sale of its broadband unit to the cable-television operator Comcast Corp. AT&T said Wednesday, June 5, it has begun talks with a group of banks about a substitute for its current $8 billion credit facility, which expires in December. AT&T cannot close the Comcast deal with its current bank facility unless, after the sale, its credit rating from Moody's Investors Service is Baa1 or above. Last week, Moody's downgraded AT&T's long-term debt to Baa2, citing the generally poor outlook for long-distance service providers.

AT&T Fla. Billing Under Fire
The Florida Attorney General’s office confirmed that an investigation of AT&T Broadband -- initiated by complaints from Jacksonville city officials -- has been expanded into a statewide probe. The AG’s office is examining alleged billing irregularities by the MSO. An AT&T Broadband spokeswoman has said that the cable system is cooperating with the investigation. David Lewis of the AG’s economic-crimes unit, which enforces consumer-protection rules, said once the Jacksonville inquiry was made public, subscribers and localities in other parts of Florida lodged similar complaints. Most fell into the franchise-dispute category, but some could be categorized as chronic overbilling, the state agency said. -- Article at MultiChannelNews is no longer available.



AT&T Canada CEO warns market could become monopoly
The head of AT&T Canada Inc. said on Thursday the country's telecom market risks becoming a monopoly as low returns and overcapacity drive players out of the sector. Chief executive John McLennan made the comments ahead of a key ruling by federal regulators on whether to lower the fees AT&T Canada and other competitive carriers pay to access the networks of former monopoly phone companies Telus Corp. and BCE Inc.'s Bell Canada unit. -- Article by Reuters at C|Net is no longer available.



Juno Broadband Enters Comcast Country
Juno, a division of popular dial-up Internet service provider United Online is going high-speed in two U.S. cities Thursday, the first step in the company's strategy to provide cable modem service throughout Comcast Corp.'s network. No timetable has been announced for Juno expansion into other Comcast markets, as this agreement is merely a "template" for future roll outs, according to Jenni Moyer, a Comcast spokesperson. The cable company has agreements with other national ISPs, she added, notably the EarthLink field trials in Philadelphia. Juno is also conducting field tests in the Philadelphia area.

Auction gavel strikes Excite@Home
In the market for a used BMW? How about some routers and notebooks? All that and more will be on the auction block on Wednesday, as the assets of defunct broadband company Excite@Home go up for sale.

AT&T cut to two notches above "junk" by Moody's
AT&T Corp. on Wednesday saw its credit ratings, affecting $25 billion of debt, cut to two notches above "junk" status by Moody's Investors Service, which said the company faces "weakened revenue prospects" and rising competition in its core business. The cut triggers a rise in interest costs for the New York-based long-distance phone company, the nation's largest. AT&T became the latest big telecom in May to suffer a credit rating downgrade. Its largest rival, WorldCom Inc., was cut to junk status by all leading U.S. rating agencies, while Qwest Communications International Inc., the No. 4 U.S local phone company, was cut to junk status by Standard & Poor's. -- Article by Reuters at C|Net is no longer available.



Excite@auction: Going once...
The collapse of high-speed Internet provider Excite@Home cost employees thousands of jobs and shareholders millions of dollars. But it cost Andre Ortega only $500, and at least he got a professional-grade tripod out of the company's demise. The 27-year-old student was one of hundreds of people attending the last big asset auction of Excite@Home on Wednesday. The company ceased operations in February after months of decline and disintegrating relationships with cable partners such as AT&T. Pingpong tables and pinball machines, stereo equipment, computer servers, and even a barbecue grill and BMW sedan were among the goods being auctioned off by DoveBid.

Modem owners pay more for AT&T A new pricing structure from AT&T will result in modem owners paying an extra $7 for their high-speed Internet service.
AT&T Broadband Internet will announce later Tuesday several changes to the way it charges for its cable modems. AT&T marketing executives framed the changes as price reductions based on the decreasing cost of hardware, but the end result will be higher costs for roughly 162,500 AT&T customers who own their own cable modems. Almost all AT&T broadband customers now pay $35.95 per month for high-speed Internet service. Those who lease modems through AT&T pay an additional $10 per month for a total of $45.95, and those who own their own modems pay no additional fee. Starting on June 1 in most regions, AT&T will increase the monthly service rate to $42.95. Customers who lease their modem from AT&T will have their lease fee reduced by $7, paying an additional $3 per month for the modem. That will make their monthly bill come to $45.95--the same price they paid last month. But bills will increase for the 10 percent of AT&T's 1.63 million customers who own their own modems. Their monthly service fee will also go up to $42.95, which means they're going to pay $7 per month more than they paid last month. -- Article by Rachel Konrad at C|Net is no longer available.



AT&T to make broadband speed uniform
AT&T Broadband is standardizing service across its high-speed cable modem network, doubling connection speeds for some customers but forcing others to wait longer to upload information from the Internet. Customers from AT&T's acquisitions and partnerships rarely had the same upstream speeds or paid the same price, making it more difficult to come out with nationwide marketing promotions and pricing changes. AT&T's basic rates for new customers are standardized at $45.95 per month for service and lease on a modem, or $35.95 per month for customers who own their own modem. -- Article by Rachel Konrad at C|Net is no longer available.



Comcast faces privacy suit
Comcast Corp. said it will fight a $1 billion class-action lawsuit brought by a Michigan man charging that the company violated the privacy of at least 1 million of its Internet customers last winter. The suit, filed last week in U.S. District Court for Eastern Michigan on behalf of Jeffery Klimas of Royal Oak, Mich., charges that the Philadelphia-based cable TV and Internet service provider illegally collected the Web-surfing habits of its users from December 2001 to February 2002. Comcast denied the charge in a statement e-mailed to reporters this morning.

AT&T Broadband Subs Dive in 1Q
AT&T Broadband lost 179,000 subscribers in the first quarter, a 1.5 percent drop, and company executives said the decline is expected to continue into the second quarter. In a conference call with analysts discussing first-quarter results, AT&T Broadband CEO William Schleyer said the subscriber loss was 'unsettling,' but he added that 80 percent of the decline was due to the expiration of aggressive promotional discounts and a large backlog of customer disconnects. Schleyer said second-quarter subscriber numbers should drop by about 64,000 customers, mirroring a decline in the same period of 2001. -- Article by Mike Farrell at MultiChannelNews is no longer available.



Comcast Balks at Access Mandate
At a Senate subcommittee hearing Tuesday on its merger with AT&T Broadband, Comcast Corp. president Brian Roberts refused to accept a government merger condition like the one imposed on AOL Time Warner Inc. that requires carriage of three unaffiliated Internet-service providers. 'I don't think it should be a condition of this deal because we don't have a gatekeeping service today,' Roberts told the Senate Subcommittee on Antitrust, Business Rights and Competition. 'We don't want to get the financial community concerned that there is going to be regulation of something we just invented.' The Federal Trade Commission refused to allow America Online Inc. to acquire Time Warner Inc. unless the companies agreed to launch competing ISPs on Time Warner Cable systems prior to launching a high-speed version of AOL. However, the Department of Justice, not the FTC, is reviewing the AT&T-Comcast deal. Last December, Comcast agreed to acquire AT&T's cable division for $72 billion (including debt), forming the largest cable company ever, with at least 22 million of the nation's 69 million cable subscribers. -- Article by Ted Hearn at MultiChannelNews is no longer available.



Internet hogs may pay more for broadband
Internet hogs, beware: If Comcast Corp. succeeds in taking over AT&T Corp.'s cable division, the merged company is going to have to find new revenue somewhere - and your wallet may be one of the first places it looks. Executives of both companies have begun hinting that they may eventually demand higher prices from cable-modem Internet customers who download large quantities of videos, songs, and other large files, because such use boosts the companies' costs. AT&T chairman C. Michael Armstrong recently told a U.S. Senate panel investigating the merger that, when Excite@Home served AT&T's Internet customers, less than 1 percent of subscribers consumed 30 percent of the network's capacity.

AT&T Broadband Inks ISP Deal
AT&T Broadband sealed a multiple-Internet-service-provider deal with NET1Plus, a regional provider that serves roughly 15,000 residential and business Internet customers in the New England region. Under terms, NET1Plus will be offered via the MSO's broadband networks in Massachusetts. AT&T Broadband -- which concluded a six-month, $20 million technical 'ISP Choice' trial in Boulder, Colo., last June -- is preparing to expand on that later this year. NET1Plus marks the second provider to reach an ISP Choice deal with the MSO. EarthLink Inc., the first, signed on with AT&T Broadband in February. -- Article by Jeff Baumgartner at MultiChannelNews is no longer available.



Small Ops Back AT&T-Comcast Merger
Small cable operators late Tuesday tossed their support behind AT&T Broadband’s merger with Comcast Corp. after the big companies evidently made a number of concessions on programming issues. Matt Polka, president of the American Cable Association, sent a letter to the Federal Communications Commission saying that small operators easily reached agreement with AT&T Broadband and Comcast on four critical matters. In other comments, EarthLink Inc. -- an Internet-service provider with 4.9 million subscribers -- urged the FCC to require AT&T Broadband and Comcast to offer consumer access to multiple ISPs and to adopt the access conditions imposed by the Federal Trade Commission on AOL Time Warner Inc. in December 2000. -- Article by Ted Hearn at MultiChannelNews is no longer available.



Comcast will sell AT&T stake to raise cash
Comcast on Wednesday said it would sell its entire stake in AT&T, and portions of its holdings in Sprint as part of a wider effort to raise cash and protect its investment grade rating. The cable company, which will become the largest in the US if its $39bn bid to acquire AT&T's broadband unit is approved, said its commitment to its investment-grade debt rating had already forced it to sell 42m shares in AT&T on Tuesday. The stake is valued at about $540m. Comcast also said it planned to sell the remainder of its AT&T stake - totalling 41.5m shares - in the future, as well as half its stake in Sprint, which is valued at $584m. -- Article by Stephanie Kirchgaessner and Mary Chungt is no longer available.



BellSouth Opposes AT&T-Comcast Merger
BellSouth Corp., the country's third-largest phone company, said Monday that it would oppose the cable merger between AT&T Broadband and Comcast Corp. in the current regulatory climate. 'BellSouth believes that so long as the disparity of regulatory treatment between companies like AT&T-Comcast and BellSouth continues, it is not in the public interest to approve the merger,' vice president of governmental affairs Herschel Abbot said. Phone companies like BellSouth that provide digital-subscriber-line service claim that the Federal Communications Commission’s rules are burdensome and do not apply to cable. 'AT&T-Comcast provides unregulated cable modem high-speed Internet access and local telephone companies like BellSouth provide highly regulated high-speed access by way of DSL technology,' Abbot said. -- Article by Ted Hearn at MultiChannelNews is no longer available.



AT&T, Comcast to Move Up Votes
AT&T Corp. and Comcast Corp. have agreed to speed up corporate elections for the proposed merger of their cable businesses, after investors raised concerns that the original schedule gave management too much protection from shareholder challenges. The two companies originally did not plan to hold elections until 2005, about 2 1/2 years after the deal is scheduled to close later this year. They have now agreed to hold the first elections in 2004.

Banks set for record fees from AT&T Comcast deal
Five investment banks which advised on the acquisition of AT&T's cable interests by Comcast, the rival cable group, will share almost $222m in fees when the deal closes. According to Dealogic, the financial information group, the payments rank as the largest combined M&A fee in US corporate history. The fees far exceed the $135m paid to advisers to America Online and Time Warner for their merger, the largest transaction of all time. A recent regulatory filing shows that Goldman Sachs and Credit Suisse First Boston, which advised AT&T, will each receive $55.8m if the merger is approved by US regulators. Morgan Stanley, which advised Comcast, was paid a $6m retainer and will receive a $34m success fee. Comcast advisers JP Morgan and Merrill Lynch each received a $5.25m retainer and are due a success fee of $29.75m. -- Article by Peter Thal Larsen and Richard Waters is no longer available.



AT&T, BT unwind Concert
BRITISH TELECOMMUNICATIONS and AT&T have fully unwound their Concert joint venture and completed the return of assets to the parent companies, BT announced Tuesday. BT has also completed the termination of its Canadian joint venture with AT&T though AT&T Canada, the London-based telecommunication company said in a statement. AT&T and BT announced last October that they were disbanding the international joint venture, launched in 1998, due to continued losses which at one point came to about $28.8 million per week. BT now plans to use the Concert capabilities it has inherited to bring IP (Internet Protocol) VPN (virtual private networkmanaged) services to 30 countries across Europe through its BT Ignite division, the company said.

Will Ma Bell Be Taken Over by Offspring?
Will AT&T stand alone as a telecommunications company? Many industry executives say they believe that by the middle of next year, a big local phone company like SBC Communications or BellSouth will try to acquire what remains of AT&T. If AT&T's stock price remains anywhere near where it is today - $15.70 a share - such a deal appears almost inevitable. AT&T, of course, is already in the middle of one major transaction. Last December, it agreed to sell its cable television unit, the nation's biggest, to the Comcast Corporation. That deal will almost certainly be completed; it faces little serious opposition, unlike the other major deal now pending in pay television, EchoStar (news/quote)'s acquisition of DirecTV. Both AT&T and Comcast have begun to open their cable systems to at least some outside Internet providers, a move that will probably lead to friendly treatment by regulators and antitrust authorities.

CSG Calls AT&T Suit Meritless
Shares of CSG Systems International Inc. traded heavily Thursday, the same day one of its leading billing and customer-care clients, AT&T Broadband, filed suit against the vendor in Arapahoe County, Colo. 'CSG is in full compliance with its obligations under its contract with AT&T,' CSG senior vice president of corporate development and general counsel Joe Ruble said in a press release Friday, 'and this lawsuit is merely AT&T’s latest attempt to bully CSG into renegotiating the contract.' -- Article by Monica Hogan at MultiChannelNews is no longer available.



SEC Asked to Probe AT&T-Comcast
A major labor union complained to the Securities and Exchange Commission that AT&T Broadband and Comcast Corp. are seeking shareholder approval for their merger in a manner that violates securities law. The compliant was lodged in a March 20 letter to the SEC by Richard Trumka, secretary-treasurer of the AFL-CIO. In the three-page letter, Trumka said AT&T Corp. is asking shareholders to approve the combination of its AT&T Broadband cable unit and Comcast, along with a series of corporate-governance matters relating to the new company. Trumka told the SEC AT&T shareholders by law should be allowed to cast separate votes on the merger and at least six other corporate-governance issues. A single shareholder vote on all issues would violate a 1992 SEC rule that prohibits such bundling, he added. -- Article by Ted Hearn at MultiChannelNews is no longer available.



Updated 07:58 PM EST, Mar-21-2002Comcast-AT&T deal hung up on word
Comcast Corp. and AT&T Corp. have asked a New York judge to dismiss a legal challenge to their $72 billion deal, arguing that some unusual corporate governance provisions in their merger agreement are legal. In dispute is whether the merged Comcast-AT&T would have to hold annual elections for its board. The merger agreement imposes a moratorium on annual elections until 2005, which means shareholders could not remove the initial slate of directors for three years.

Markey Seeks ISP Answers from AT&T
Rep. Edward Markey (D-Mass.) is asking AT&T Corp. whether the company intends to provide multiple Internet-service providers in all of its Massachusetts broadband markets within a few months. While praising AT&T Broadband's carriage deal last week with EarthLink Inc., Markey noted that the deal covers the Greater Boston area, while the MSO has committed to provide multiple ISPs throughout the state no later than July 1. "As you may recall, in June 2000, in exchange for dropping a ballot initiative on ISP choice, AT&T reached an agreement with a Massachusetts consumer coalition for securing multiple-ISP choice," Markey said in a March 15 letter to AT&T Corp. chairman and CEO C. Michael Armstrong. "The agreement explicitly encompassed AT&T Broadband systems statewide." -- Article by Ted Hearn at MultiChannelNews is no longer available.



EarthLink, AT&T Broadband ink pact
EarthLink will offer high-speed Internet service over AT&T's broadband network, the two companies announced Tuesday. The new service will debut in the Boston and Seattle areas, and more cities are expected to come online by 2003. AT&T had conducted a six-month trial of "ISP choice" in Boulder, Colo., allowing different service providers, including EarthLink, to operate over its network.

AT&T: Centralization Push Persists
AT&T Broadband chief operating officer Ron Cooper told analysts and investors Monday that the MSO's decentralization push -- which led to 500 headquarters job cuts recently -- is still under way. 'Our bias is to push more responsibility, resources and authority out to the field,' Cooper said at the Bear Stearns & Co. Media, Entertainment & Information conference in Palm Beach, Fla. -- Article by Mike Farrell at MultiChannelNews is no longer available.



Corzine Eyes Comcast-AT&T Board
AT&T Broadband’s and Comcast Corp.'s plan to protect board members from removal after the two companies merge -- and until 2005 -- is coming under closer scrutiny from Sen. Jon Corzine (D-N.J.). Corzine, former chairman of Goldman, Sachs & Co., raised the AT&T-Comcast board issue at a Senate hearing on corporate governance last week. 'The senator is concerned about the propriety of these provisions in general,' Corzine spokesman Darius Goore said Friday. -- Article at MultiChannelNews is no longer available.



@Home Post Mortem: Who or What Killed @Home? slashdot.org: "This article from CNet points to AT&T taking over the @Home board as the nail in the coffin for @Home. It starts out as a tale of possible corporate espionage, with a top techie from AT&T moving to @Home and then back to AT&T, but the guy in question seems to have done nothing but good for @Home while he was there."
REDWOOD CITY, Calif.--By all accounts, Hossein Eslambolchi is a technological genius: In 15 years as a networking engineer at AT&T, he collected more than 100 patents and was a finalist for U.S. National Inventor of the Year in 1997. So it made perfect sense that he would be tapped by his company for the special mission of rescuing the troubled network run by partner Excite@Home. In the year since that move, however, the high-speed Internet service has filed for bankruptcy, lost 4.1 million customers, and, by the time it is expected to close Thursday, will have seen its share of the consumer broadband market plummet from 45 percent to zero. Few people suggest that Eslambolchi was responsible for the demise of Excite@Home, a company whose problems long predated his temporary assignment on loan from Ma Bell. But his tenure has raised difficult questions about the company's relationship with AT&T, an uneasy arrangement of both cooperation and competition that has become increasingly common throughout the corporate world as industries merge and consolidate. "It's completely legal to have executives on the board and to have a majority voting interest, even in companies that are competitors, and it's completely legal to lend an executive," said Steven C. Currall, associate professor of management, psychology and statistics at Rice University in Houston and the author of numerous studies on organizational behavior and conflict management funded by the National Science Foundation and the U.S. Department of Education. "But it's incredibly predatory, and I'm not sure how ethicalit is."
