In the first place, AOL is loosing customers, they managed to add some over the holidays, but with the 10% increase in a cut-throat competition business, lots of people are already leaving, now add little bit of busy signal and a lousy customer service.

Let's assume that you are right and AOL has 24M by year end. They can't support the existing 11M without having a busy signal, just imagine how much more money they would need to support other 24M without having problems. The money that they spend on the infrastructure -IS- going to get into the bottom line. By the time they improve their infrastructure to support such a mass, Cable modem would have made its debut in almost all the cities. Then its dejavu all other again.
