How that compares to the global pool of cable users, I cannot say.
One cable company I've done business here (Ontario, Canada) has over 500K subscribers, and I don't believe it has the largest number of cable modems in the country. So you're probably talking around 1.5-2 million cable modems north of the border. Then you have Europe (I think .nl has decent cable modem penetration), Asia-Pacific, etc.
It'll be interesting to see if att exports their filtering policies to the newly acquired customers. They'll want to support a uniform configuration across the whole network, I'm sure.
They apparently don't have a uniform configuration now; we have lots of people using AT&T BI complaining about blocked port 80s and whatnot, and yet we have some other AT&T BI users in different locations (but I think both were formerly-@Home AT&T BI areas) who don't have any ports blocked. Bizarre, I have to say. Vivien -- Vivien M. vivienm () dyndns org Assistant System Administrator Dynamic DNS Network Services http://www.dyndns.org/
