AOL's future is bleak because dial-up Internet access as we know it is going away.

PT,

You don't work in the industry, do you? Dial-up internet access will be the dominant access choice for years to come. Cable pundits who say otherwise haven't done their research! Just pick up any industry rag and read the research metrics from Jupiter, Forrester, Gartner Group, etc.

Almost all of these research think tanks predict that dial-up access will be around for years to come, and will be the choice for consumers.

BTW, are you assuming that AOL won't offer other modes of access? Because that couldn't be farther from the truth.
