Default AT&T / Excite

I received a mail from AT&T about this. AT&T tried to buy Excite outright, which was turned down. Then AT&T, as well as the other Cable modem providers that use Excite, offered to pay some ammount to continue service for a short time so that a new network could be completed. Excite accepted the offer from two other providers worth over $300 Million for several months of service, however they refused AT&T's offer. As of yesterday AT&T is expecting to have Colorado back in service (on a new network) Wednsday (I am not sure about other places, but I think that Oregon and Washington will be working before that).
