With no free access to physical cable wire, AOL is screwed.
Maybe they can pay ATHM to put an "AOL" icon on the ATHM home
page,


Just after T bought TCI the president of AOL made a statement that basically said: This is good news, perhaps we can make a deal with T for more bandwidth. Implying that T has the muscle to make ATHM do a deal for cheap.

Within 2 days I read the president of ATHM saying something close to: If AOL thinks we are just another dumb pipe they are mistaken. If they want our service we want piece of the pie.

I think it is kind of like you are saying. AOL will have to make a deal with someone. AOL is a really big sale and they need cable bad.

I bet AOL is playing ATHM and road runner against each other for the best deal.

ATHM, as I understand, is available on cable close to AOL's main site.
