Compare that to Apple and Microsoft, where Apple fell $600 billion dollar behind at the turn of the century, and has pounced up (while Microsoft fell back) since.
When AOL/Time Warner merged, Microsoft was peaking at over $500 billion. They've since continually edged back, but far slower than the collapse of the AOL monstrosity.
You'd have to go back pre-90s to even consider the possibility that a cable co beat out Microsoft. Maybe in the early years.

Market cap is not always a trustworthy number.
