I am not comparing them as business models. Only as stories. AOL was losing money by advertising to acquire subs. AMZN survival depends on establishing themselves as the leader in internet retailing. Every month that goes by makes it more difficult for some to hire some monkees, put them in a closet and create a website. AMZN is is epanding it's offering, building infrastructure and NAME recognition. As each of these grows it will be more difficult to replicate by a competitor. AMZN is in a volume, volume, volume game. Success will depend on beating and outlasting the competition. I certainly don't know if they will. I am not an investor in AMZN. Just an interested by stander. jb
