The Associated Press (http://abclocal.go.com/wpvi/story?section=news/business&id=6165366) has a little more detail on those rural cable markets I mentioned Comcast was planning on selling (http://www.thegng.org/shownews/94653) last week. Comcast is looking to sell about 46 rural markets in eight states (Maine, Kentucky, Louisiana, New Mexico, Virginia, Georgia, West Virginia and California), a move that would impact about 500,000 customers. "It's not about money at all," one analyst tells the AP. "They are pruning some of the more outlying areas in order to make a more efficient cluster." No buyers have been named yet.
