No one knows what the Portland outcome will be. The way things are now is that if you want AOL over ATHM you will have to pay $10 to AOL and $40 to ATHM each month. ATHM is resisting this solution and would prefer to block. That won't last if competitors like HSAC are providing this pricing. One ruling might be that a subscriber pays $3 to AOL and $40 to ATHM to get AOL over ATHM. Another might be the previous formula. My guess is that neither of these will be the outcome. Recent developments in other technologies like what Frank has suggested in post #11117 may make all these considerations irrelevant. That might happen with wireless technologies too. Interest rates are always a concern. You just have to do the best you can when they're changing. So far it is only the T market which has rising rates. The FED has not confirmed that they agree with a need to increase the cost of interbank borrowing due to inflationary pressures that the T market. The T market will react way in advance since it is time paper the participants are buying. The oil price increase had a significant effect on cooling the demand for loanable funds, so maybe the T market is overreacting or maybe it's reflecting foreign factors. The stock market has fallen because there is concern about future inflation. It isn't a matter so much of selling, but rather one of a paucity of buying. maybe the negatives are well enough known so that buyers will come back at least for awhile.
