No one is forced to use AOL. Absolutely correct. So you say AOL doesn't possess monopoly power, and yet what other service provider can boast anywhere near the number of subscribers AOL has, even discounting ICQ members? Who comes even close? MSN, T, Prodigy, Mindspring, Sprint, @Home? None - absolutely none come close. BTW, no one forced over 12 million people to sign up with AOL. It would be a scary thought for any bear to think that AOL might actually have a monopoly - because if they did bears would be dead in the water. This is actually good news that AOL doesn't possess a monopoly; I hope the federal regulators share your insight. Because it would make future acquistions all the more easier. S.
