"If trying to catch up with AOL requires companies to write
checks $1 billion at a time, just how many competitors are really going to attempt to build the kind of customer base and brand recognition that AOL has achieved"

Trying to "catch up" to AOL is like trying to best your friend who has a moped (remember those??) with a better moped. Companies simply are providing paradigms that don't even compare to AOL's effort.

An interesting article came out today that is a perfect example of what I am talking about here and in my previous post.
