Hi Chuzz...
It seems to me that you have a financial model for 3 fronts in AOL:
1) the ISP context (monthly subscription charges)
2) the Shopping/Mall space advertisements (ad revenues)
3) the sales transaction royalties (I believe)
4) Let alone content and BRANDING
(how to do establish a financial model for intellectual capital and branding?)

AOL is becoming an American institution: e.g. "You've Got Mail" plus every family and student in America has been chatting for the last year with instant messengers. Soon AOL will be a global institution.... I'm just waiting for the commercials like Coke's and GE's.. ("it's the real thing"... and 'it brings good things to life").... <VBG>

There isn't another company in e-commerce that has this combination... it's everything all the other want to be! No wonder AOL has been such a powerhouse, and S&P's decision to add them to the 500.

Best wishes with AOL; going into '99 and the next millennium!

Laura
