Craig, who said AT&T wanted to buy AOL? Totally fabricated rumors,probably started on the Motley Fool Board. It seems we have immediate information,and no knowledge or wisdom. T would never buy AOL,for any price,no reason to,but they might sell access,or some other service to AOL.
AOL will die soon,choked off from its air supply by cable,and the RBOC's not allowing colocation of modems. AOL does not own its infrastructure,and like a hot bar,people will move on to something better.
My bet is with Road Runner,and the cable companies through ATHM choking the shit out of AOL.
Then I expect MCI/Worldcom to triple their rates,and the RBOC's to block access to their lines for ADSL(EDSEL to me).
No on wants AOL, they all want to suck AOL dry,like parasites on a wounded carcass.
