Threat to AOL and other ISP's?

The main threat I percieve at this point are the coming generation of High-speed ISP's. My little nickname for these companies are HI-SP's (DSL, cable, wireless, and the like). If AOL and other big name access providers are slow to upgrade their networks, I think many more of these type companies will emerge and today's leaders may fall victim to smaller, more nimble, and faster providers. These new technologies are first now becoming viable and (especially regarding some of the wireless access technologies) in a few years could be economically feasible for home based end-users.
