Great article and interesting rumour about AOL+Hughes. I am a bit confused, though. It seems to me that if AOL and Hughes were to partner, it would be in response to the MSFT+DISH partnership, rather than as competition to ATHM. I see direct broadcast satellites as a gap-filler for areas not serviced by cable or DSL, and can't imagine AOL making a large move in this area in response to cable. Unless they are thinking of using satellite-based caching, something like the SkyCache system.
