Re: "In terms of content, from a kids point of view, AOL is in a league of it's own." Whooops .... There go the kids! Regard from CNET today: news.com "Bill Gates and Steve Case are about to get a run for their money--from Mickey Mouse." "Disney's online plan of attack includes a major fee-based online service aimed at the family market that could include everything from celebrities hosting online features to the company's own branded "D-mail," CNET has learned. The service is expected to be rolled out in stages, starting at $5 a month for access to some proprietary content and eventually rising to a $20 monthly charge that will include an Internet connection, sources said." "The planned online service will form a new nucleus for Disney's global marketing efforts. The company plans to use its electronic operation as an interactive roadmap leading to all corners of its empire where subscribers can purchase souvenirs, buy movie tickets, book trips to theme parks, and check programming changes on ABC, among myriad other services." There is simply, absolutely no way can compete with Disney for the family crowd. Disney has the $ to prevail. AOL will be flattened. AOL's only hope is a buyout. Regards
