AOL Time Warner Said to Be Pursuing AT&T's Cable Unit

By ANDREW ROSS SORKIN and GERALDINE FABRIKANT


n an effort to become the nation's largest cable operator, AOL Time Warner 
(news/quote) proposed late last week to merge its cable operations with 
AT&T (news/quote)'s, executives close to the negotiations said yesterday.
While AOL has not yet made a formal merger offer for AT&T's cable business, 
which is called AT&T Broadband, the proposal is the first signal that AOL 
is earnestly pursuing a deal.
