Default Internet provider,shouldn't that be worth some chump change?

Sig:
Shouldn't this be worth something to DELL,I mean in cash? I remember MD saying the reason Netscape isn't on the DELL is 'coz Netscape didn't want to pay anything to DELL and that DELL liked to make money for the service provided,if this is so then I don't think AOL gets to be the default ISP for nothing unless DELL gets something in return by way of some other arrangements like free ad and such.

Dell Computer Picks America Online as Default Internet Service

Round Rock, Texas, Dec. 21 (Bloomberg) -- Dell Computer Corp., the top direct seller of personal computers, said it will use America Online Inc.'s online service as the default Internet provider on its consumer computers sold in the U.S. and Canada.

Dell said that starting today, it will ship America Online's software on computer disks with its Dimension and Inspiron computer systems. Early next year, Dell's computers will be pre- installed with the America Online service.

Terms weren't disclosed.

America Online, the No. 1 online service, has signed agreements with other PC makers such as Compaq Computer Corp. to feature America Online as the default Internet provider as it seeks to gain subscribers........
