Let's be clear on content. Content doesn't even start until you have a 3 mbps feed. 1.5 barely makes it. This is the heart of it. If this is true, everyone predicting the demise of AOL will be right. Have you ever considered though that AOL might have a better insight into the mind of the average person than all us futurists and technologists might think? Any forward thinking person would never have predicted that AOL would survive this far, much less thrive as it has. Who needs AOL and its closed system with constant barrage of advertising when you have the whole web at your disposal? Who would be willing to pay extra for that? 17 Million people, thats who. Maybe we wise are not so wise. Maybe 33.6/56k will be fine for the masses for several years to come, with DSL more than enough to fill in the gap. I dunno. Eric
