[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:TCILogo.gif
Image:TCILogo.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] Article Dreafully short for what used to be the largest provider
Does any one know any more history or info on this company. I know a little, but I am not sure if I should add it to another artile, to this one, or at all. The article mentions that at one time, it was the largest Cable Broadcasting Provider in the United States. What I know is that, a little bit before merged with AT&T, TCI decided to get rid of all of its Rural Utah systems. These systems were sold to a knew owner, whome was just getting into the business. The new cable company created by this sale was named Peak Cablevision. In about 2001, Peak Cablevision and all of its assets were sold to a group of investors who renamed the company Precis Communications. There are probably several other companies that got started from TCI selling systems too. 12.152.161.212 (talk) 04:09, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Assets and history
I remember the announcement of AT&T's acquisition of TCI. The acquisition was of apparent importance in the business world --CNN talked about the acquisition all afternoon. In my area, and the surrounding communities AT&T sold its newly acquired cable services after only a short period of ownership (a few months) to Charter, so I know that not all of AT&T's cable assets went to Comcast.
Additionally, on a personal note, I remember TCI's service being less than stellar and the cable signal quality being notably unclean.
