<<<AOL does have extras - but it's still basically ISP - all I'm saying is that the price of ISP connection, like all tech services in a maturing market, is eventually going to drop. As it does, AOL will start losing members.>>>

Blankmind,

What you are missing is the fact that in a maturing internet market the last folks to sign up for ISP service are the least technically inclined, the folks who believe that AOL is too hard to use right now. These are the folks that will migrate to AOL in droves when it is their turn. AOL offers the easiest and friendly to use interface so far and AOL realizes that. Non-techies want all-in-one solutions and that is exactly what AOL offers. AOL hasn't even scratched the ultimate surface of subscribers yet. These will be the same customers who have made Wal Mart such a giant in retailing.
