AT&T bought TCI 1998-1999. AT&T bought MediaOne in 1999-2000. Did they
have one of the Chicago areas, too? Comcast bought Prime Cable 2000-2001,
but traded some areas to AT&T, so AT&T got Chicago's northwest side.
Then Comcast bought AT&T Broadband 2001-2002.

If you were a mergers and acquisitions counsel, you made big bucks
during this period of trading cable franchises like baseball cards.
