>>I think....maybe.... 1 million subscribers at unconsolidated >>sister companies owned with joint venturers in Germany and Japan AOL always has reported sub count including all international subs, and its income statements have included its share of those revenues, which for ad-commerce are virtually nil. So, is AOL excluding international from count used to report ad- commerce per sub (which makes the number higher), while touting total sub count that includes them? I don't know. But why should we bend our brains trying to resolve discrepancies that should be explained by AOL itself via appropriate reporting/disclosure of how it arrives at numbers it puts out/spins? <<but still leaves not only the 1m difference versus 8.6m, but also that 7.6_m is less than the 8m with which AOL began the quarter. Any ideas?>>
