>>Would still appreciate your comments on a business model that will allow AOL
to turn a profit.

Especially when:

"Now a small but growing group of Internet
access companies is taking the next step: doing
away with monthly fees altogether while aiming to
make money almost exclusively from advertising"

"It was bound to happen," said Evan Neufeld, an analyst in New York for
Jupiter Communications, an online market-research firm. "Internet service
providers are not making money at $19.95 all-you-can-eat access, and it
seems like prices are going to go down. Unless you're AT&T and can
absorb huge losses, you have to look for other revenue streams."

- In that competitive scenario, AOL needs a raging river, a mere stream will not do.
