--OT---
AOL more diversified? Because they spent far too much for a company that added little value (that would be Netscape)? Or because they are shut out of the future of broadband.. cable? Because their recent attempt to have the FCC open Cable up to all players, during the TCI and T merger, failed? Because AOL is seriously worried they missed their best chance to join the broadband wave? So worried they hired a lobbyist, who failed at his best opportunity?

Just like Yahoo... being on top does not mean survival, especially in the net sector.. They are always one step away from extinction. IMHO AOL, has made big mistakes, and missed big opportunities. They may be on top, and their share price will climb.. but the walls are crumbling. AOL is not "sure to survive" any more than YAHOO is, if YAHOO misses opportunities, and makes poor decisions.

Regards
Jay (not a fan of AOL, as if you cant tell) :-)
