I certainly hope this is one rumor that gets translated into reality. I have always believed that this will benefit each company. AOl is good at providing content while ATT provides the pipes. If a deal is reached and it includes AOLs access to the broadband pipes, this will be a win-win for all. ATT needs the 18+ million customer base that AOL provides and this would cement their place and ward off competitors such as MCI Worlcom/Sprint. Boy, if they can pull this one off, it will be a master stroke. We have 2 very good leaders in Michael Armstrong and Steve Case on opposite ends and I am sure they realize what is at stake here. SOunds interesting. What this does to AOL stock - well I hope this provides a decent bounce. I mean the stock was up 17+ in the last couple of days. The MSN news was a good part of it, but I am sure the big boys knew what was coming down the pike. Every time you count them out, they surprise you. Good luck to everyone.
