>The internet will be as ubiquitous as the phone and T.V. and AOL will be there big. Over 1 million subscribers overseas already, that's a scary thought.<

Agreed (eventually) on your first point, not in agreement on your second point unless AOL figures out a way to develop content. Internet access will become a commodity product. Content is the key to success. On subs, I don't believe any of AOL sub numbers. Even if I did, we are achieving intermediate term saturation (see my post of a few weeks ago regarding potential market penetration in the US). How much are those overseas subs worth. Which companies want to advertize to them and in what language? Perhaps the new Daimler/Chrysler? English with German subtitles?
