I forwarded the post about the young computer user from Orlando who was
frustrated that he couldn't get I-net connectivity through the Time
Warner system there to an executive at Time Inc. This was his reply...

 We are involved with detailed discussions that Time Warner Cable is having
about creating computer-cable connections, with access to the Internet and to
commercial online services. This would be for all systems that have the fiber
upgrades. Everyone at TWC headquarters is fully aware of the importance of
this market. I'm not sure when a decision will be made, but I am sure that
TWC will find ways to offer cable connectivity. I will keep you informed of
any decisions, and you are free to tell anyone interested that these
discussions are being held at the highest levels.
