The power of the KPCB media hype machine. There is an interesting
and rather lengthy article in this month's Upside finally questioning
the long term viability of @Home from a financial point of view.
The issue turns on the lack of investment on the part of TCI to make 
the necessary cable plant upgrades. No upgrades -- no one @Home.

The hype machine always unravels, given time.
