>>Jermoluk said he welcomes a partnership with AOL to cobrand content or to develop some way for each company to leverage the other's strengths.
>>"There's an opportunity to gain customers here together, there's an opportunity for me to make them more profitable by cutting out their modem minute network charges, there are opportunities for us together to make other revenues and transaction revenues," Jermoluk added.
>>He argued that what he sees as AOL's wishes to control the entire network are, at this point, unreasonable. @Home would rather not partner with AOL at all, he added, than become the company's "dumb pipe."
>>"They [AOL] want to have 100 percent of the control over the subscriber, and 100 percent of the programming interface--and that's simply not a very attractive proposition for a cable company, or AT&T, or ourselves to become involved with." << |
