Interesting debunk there. If AOL thinks the internet is competitive now they are in for a rude awakening. Microsoft is busily competing away with Netscape in the browser market, yes, but they are equally aggressive on the other end of the pipe -- what gets served up to those browsers and how -- including completion of the rich array of open standards that will allow truly interactive, multimedia experiences in the coming months and years.

AOL is not only competing with Microsoft and Netscape but consortiums of companies defining how the internet will work in the immediate and distant future. Moreover, they are competing with the hundreds of thousands of individual companies that will be providing their own online experience via the internet and those companies do not need anybody, least of all AOL, to proceed with their plans.

Ladies and gentlemen, if you think the interactive-as-a-dead-cat web sites you currently experience are the be-all and end-all of the internet just wait a few weeks.

AOL is doomed!
