PROFILE |
 |
Technology is opening a new frontier for an emerging posse of broadband cowboys. WideOpenWest, most of whose networks are still in the development stage, offers digital cable TV (more than 500 channels), video-on-demand, high-speed Internet access, and Internet protocol (IP)-based telephone service. The company has gained cable franchises in Colorado, Texas, Missouri, and Arizona, and is building residential fiber-optic networks; it has one operational network in Lakewood, Colorado. WideOpenWest will add more than 300,000 customers in Illinois, Michigan, and Ohio by buying SBC's cable networks. Founded in 1999 by CEO Mark Haverkate, the company is backed by venture firms Oak Hill Capital Partners and ABRY Partners.
