TA - no disrespect, but I have a question - how does one sell what is free? (and
what good will that do AOL?) "AOL will sell free web registration and web sites for
it's memebers..."

Similar to the GeoCities business model. Member websites = "stick app." Basically members create pages, which in turns generates traffic, which in turns means you can sell more ad inventory.
