AT&T, TCI deal may fall

Well, the slated deal between TCI Cable and AT&T may fall apart if " regulators limit the companies' ability to charge users of a planned high-speed Internet access service for related services the customers may not want." The article goes on to talk about how the companies "need" economies of scale. H: It's stuff like this that makes me fussy. I understand they want money, but essentially their arguement is that unless they can basically /extort/ money from the customer, then they don't want in. *sigh*
