The problem is NSOl still has several years on its contract, and owns the current database. It is highly likely that they will get it again based on their experience and what they already own. If it is a low margin business as this guy stated, then other companies probably will not want to get in. Talking about low margin, how about AMZN? It has negative margin. People also say anybody can do what DELL has done or do what AMZN is doing. The matter of the fact is that it is not that easy to go against somebody already established like NSOL.

In the current business environment, a couple of years is almost eternity. Who knows if 90% of other internet companies may disappear. If NSOL has another couple of years of monopoly, it will be very strong by the time its contract needs to be renewed. In the mean time, it is basically a cash machine. AOL is also facing tons of competition, and ISP is also low margin business. The bottom line is for any company you can always argue on both sides.

Go NSOL! Wait for the company to announce deals and press release soon!
