Sprint, EarthLink join forces By Randy Barrett February 11, 1998 1:28 PM PST Inter@ctive Week Online www5.zdnet.com There is a table in the article which I copy here: Top internet access providers in the U.S. as of Q4 1997: AON 9.5M MSN 1.7M CompuServe 1.3M (3Q, prior to purchase by AOL) AT&T 1.01M CSI/Spynet 330k (3Q, prior to purchase by AOL) Prodigy 935k Netcom 510k Earthlink 420k Source: IDC There lies the bigger picture that many shorts here do not see. Should AOL use their leverage of stock price to purchase a couple more ISPs, the dominance will be even greater.
