Re: Why didn't Comcast just take over EarthLink's network?
cause Earthlink doesn't own much of anything. It's mostly leased. They're dial-up numbers; leased, their cable modem network- resold on the Comcast and TWC network.- Very limited in Comcast though.
Earthlink doesnt really do anything but dial-up and DSL which is also resold (plus they'd compete against themselves in areas of DSL).
