Short Take: @Home adds Prime Cable to roster

@Home Network, a high-speed cable based Internet access provider, signed an exclusive agreement with Prime Cable, making the cable television operator @Home's 20th cable partner. The deal with Prime Cable, which offers cable TV to nearly 1 million homes, allows @Home to offer its broadband data-over-cable services in Chicago and the Washington area. Prime's existing cable modem customers will become @Home subscribers by the end of the third quarter.
