JMHO, but as wireless technology improves I hope AOL is positioning to take advantage of this delivery medium. (I do believe they will be.)I have @home thru my cable provider (speed is great and broadband content - movie trailers, etc are quite clear) but still maintain my aol account. While I wouldn't expect most users to maintain dual accounts I think it would be advantageous (at least in the short-term) if AOL could enter into an agreement that would provide them cable access. On a personal note, the amount of effort involved in getting my @home connection going had to be a money losing proposition for my local cable company. They basically rewired my house with new cable because they couldn't get enough bandwith at the cable modem. If my experience is typical I would imagine the cable operators will be unwilling to pay @home any higher license fees. In the long run I hope wireless makes cable a moot point.
