I thought excite was only providing email, dns and other soft services. The
cable companies, cox in Phoenix, are providing the physical network,
Internet feed and maintenance of both, right?

If that's true excite's demise would only stop their screwed up email and
dns hosting services. That should be easy enough to replace, especially
without the half a billion dollar debt.
