* Pricing wasn't announced; but recall that MCI's deal with Web TV (12/11/97) offers perpetual $14.95/mo to MCI long distance customers * AOL can't make money at $20 plus all that revenue from shoving ads down your throat--and now the possibility of a better service for 25% less? What's is AOL's P/E again? What is incredible about all this is that if even a successful company, one that actually made money, were in a similar situation, the increasing competition would undoubtedly be reflected in the stock price. AOL, on the other hand, is up today and it hasn't made any money--I believe they're still in the hole, on a cumulative basis, since they went public. They've owned the market and couldn't make money, what happens now that everyone is going after them with better services and better pricing?
