the emachine deal is much bigger than i think anyone is giving it credit for right now. only half of households are online now, this will propel many more to join in. what this deal also does is stops all the free sites in their steps. all these new AOLers will be locked in for 3yrs. the freebies have to be running a little scared about where their revenue dollars will come from. will advertisers who live on a budget continue to support them or turn the money over to AOL for a solid return for their investment. this is going to make for on hell of a xmas season of buying on the net. all these newbies get to experience shopping online without leaving their home. remember your first online shopping experience? i bet it wasn't your last. AOL revenue will soar when 4th quarter earnings come in. this is where Mr. Pitman is the brain, he knows how to milk deals for every last penny. anyone signing a new contract which they have renewal of 95%, wonder why, will have to cough up more money and better terms.
even though others have the same deal, it make sense that for free most will go with AOL, a name everyone knows. AOL EVERYWHERE...this is just the beginning
