The idea that you have to have a multimedia site to attract people to BB is wrong.

That's not what I meant at all. If you have BB access, the surprising discovery is how much slower it is than was expected. It is the net itself that is the bottleneck, particularly the peering points.

Everybody I know that went to BB did so because they wanted to move around faster on the internet. Down load things faster, etc. People set their defaut home pages to CNN news or something like that.

So let's move these guys, CNN et al., to high speed onramps along ATHM's net. Is that going to happen if ATHM or AOL want to control all content? No way. (It isn't fair for me to say that ATHM is in favor of controlling content, they don't)
