Under the GG game we look at any changes in the fundamenetal biz of the co. I submit that..

1. Free internet service will affect AOL customer base. I just converted one 'afraid to change' friend last week from AOL to freei. And now he is not only saving $23 per month but was actually surprized to find out how easy it is to log on.

2. E-mail addresses are vital and I for one would not want to change mine. Thats why I got one on hotmail so I am not at the whim and fancy of an ISP who, incidentally, may go out of biz.

3. The prop. content on AOl is readily available thru many other sites and for free.

LONG TERM I think AOL's biz model is being affected and will not stay a gorilla for long.

JMHO
