Neal,

AOL recognizes full well that broadband will be huge and potentially devastating to its business. That's why they tried whining to congress when they couldn't get what they thought was their rightful access to the big pipes.

The best thing in that article is the comment about how "if you're only going to chat or do e-mail or shop, what do you need broadband for?" [paraphrasing]

This is as ridiculous as the buggy whip manufacturer a century ago saying, "If all you're going to do is visit the church and town center once a week, what do you need a car for?"

The potential of the internet has not been envisioned by anyone at this point. The desire for on-demand entertainment (maybe 3-D holography?) and two-way video conferencing with everyone else on the planet will blow chat and e-mail and shopping out of the water.

ATHM is the place to be.
