Steve,

Correct me if I am wrong, but AOL did not get an 'open access' (whatever it means) to BEL high bandwidth access. Bell Atlantic will surcharge a subscriber extra $20 for ADSL connection to AOL. I am sure AOL could get similar(if not better) contracts from @Home and Roadrunner.

AOL is not a competitor to RBOCs in the telephone biz, but MCI-Worlcom is. If they will give them a freeby in ADSL high bandwidth for the sake of competition agains @athome and roadrunner, they might
a. undercut their own competivness in high bandwidth and
b. allow MCI-Worldcom grab some local voice (over ADSL) lines and
c. make it more difficult for themselves in the near future to enter
LD biz and compete against MCI-Worldcom and ATT.
