Keith, I think internet access (ie access to bandwidth) is a commodity and that AOL doesn't have much value added as compared to the isp's. Their big hook is that they may have more captive eyeballs than your generic isp, for now anyways; or the eyeballs are comparatively captive(?). If they can provide content that draws aol subs to their material instead of the internet than that would be value added, I guess. Anyways, I think Aol will prove to be the Atari of the internet once the next big paradigm shift comes in and sweeps them away, but surprised it hasn't happened yet and surprised by their recent growth, assuming its valid. The stock price is ridiculous, of course, regardless.
