There's a big disconnect in thestreet story. "AOL signed up 665,000 users during the quarter, a 5.3% rise from the previous quarter. A year ago during the same period, the giant online service expanded its base by 7%. Tricia Primrose, a company spokeswoman, said strong second- quarter growth in 1997 was fueled by a change in monthly pricing plans, so year-over-year comparisons are hard to make." The 7% vs 5.3% is March-June Q. The price increase was in December, which was AOL's Q2. Appears to be confusion about designation of fiscal vs. calendar quarters. June Q is AOL's Q4. Primrose's reference to AOL's Q2 is Dec 1997 Q.
