Tim...

Please elaborate on your post. Is this about the possible sale of MSN? If AOL takes over MSN, who's left? Yahoo, C|Net Snap!, other search engines, and of course ISP's. If MSFT decides content aggregation is not for them, they basically handing over all the business to AOL.

WebTV is unproven and untested as of now. Everyone is throwing around buzz words about cable access, ADSL, etc. These are fantastic ways to connect to the internet and AOL. If anything, it will allow subs to connect at faster speeds, making the web and AOL a more enjoyable experience. As for WebTV, if it ever does catch on, IMHO AOL will be a "channel" broadcasted. Lines are beginning to blur here...AOL channels on the new IE4.0 already.
