That doesn't work for several reasons, most important of which is
that it doesn't reflect churn and trial/free time subs which
modulate the revenue stream *throughout the quarter*. Also AOL has
price plans other than $19.95 used by 10-20% of subs.

By contrast, average revenues per sub as reported by AOL reflect
the above.
