Chuzz, Disneyland is a good example of AOL today. They charge to get in to enjoy the attractions, and make a fortune on the merchandise. That's what AOL is doing.
I think the future will be a totally free, 24 hour a day, Internet connection. Think of AOL as a shopping mall, filled with shops. The mall doesn't charge the customers to come in, they spend money to get them.
As competitive pressure drives down monthly charges for connection, revenue will rise from business's on the net.
Some free services are already out there, using advertising to pay for them. This will explode, and AOL will have to meet them.
