>>>There are numerous ISP providing unlimited access under $ 20. Ithink $ 2 increase announced today could more cost more to AOL than improve bottom line.<<<

I don't think the majority of AOL's members are subcribing for the pure Internet access and "no frills" that 99% of ISPs provide. I think it's more about the chats and supposed content of the online community. Otherwise, these people would likely be using any one of the ISPs out there -- accessing the Net from AOL is notoriously slow. I bet they'll get away with the $2 increase with minimal churn.

I just heard on CNBC that the price target many analysts are now forcasting for AOL is in the neighborhood of $150/share.
