YHOO is all service/content whereas AOL is more ISP than content provider. I like them both actually, but have my money only in YHOO due to "limited resources" <g>.

The nice thing about YHOO is that whoever your ISP is, YHOO can be your destination for content... and for most people it in fact is. AOL still has to support/upgrade a big infrastructure that costs money, so AOL is the more expensive business to run. OTOH, a customer to AOL is generating real revenue (like $20 a month), whereas everything on YHOO is essentially free for users/viewers.

I could imagine that YHOO at some point will create some paying-subscriber features with "premium" content. But I do not have an idea what it could be. Let's just sit and wait.

greetings,
Thomas
