Excite@Home Dead In 3 Days?

Nov 27, 2001 4:12pm CST tags: zGeneral News, Bankruptcy
Yahoo is carrying this Reuters story which reports that the bankrupt Excite@Home could possibly cease providing its cable internet service in 3 days, if it can't get into new contracts with the cable companies that carry the internet service. This depends on a judge, which representatives of Excite@Home will face this Thursday. Thanks GoofyBoy

Representatives of Redwood City, California-based Excite@Home will appear in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in San Francisco on Thursday, where a judge will decide whether to have the service blocked if current negotiations fail, said spokeswoman Stephanie Xavier.

``It depends on the decision of the judge,'' she said. ``All I can say is we're in active negotiations with the cable companies. We're doing all that we can to maintain service.''

Xavier said many of the cable companies that carry Excite@Home have informed users that their service could cease after Nov. 30.

update by Steve: d-mAn sent along this email that @Home customers in Dallas have gotten.
