But customers are not happy to pay extra 9.99. This effectively put AOL on an unequal basis. Current dial-up customers pay $20 for the phone service, and $22 for AOL (and Internet) access. If those customers want faster access, they'll have to pay for it one way or another (i.e., AOL will charge more anyway). This is a question of whether or not AOL can weasel their way into controlling the ISP/network revenues in addition to the content revenues. So all ISP's will get the same access to the cable networks, essentially gaining the right to sell @Home's service. AOL's footing would be equal to other ISP's and equal with other content sites (such as Yahoo). Randy
