I guess we will have to wait for the next one or two quarterly earnings report from AOL. If those reports continue to show increasing revenues and growth in membership at the rate of 1 million every 60 days, then broadband becomes a non issue. Right now there are "the so called self appointed experts" that keeping yelling broadband from rooftops. Their yells are drowning the voices of reason who are saying that broadband cable is not there yet. Somebody somewhere has to put in a lot of bucks to bring broadband to the level that the phone networks are in. Since DSL rides on the telephone infrastructure, it makes good business sense to keep concentrating on DSL for the moment. Instead AOL has decided to direct resources and capital to grow and improve content, membership, e-commerce revenues etc. and has let somebody else to concentrate on spending the bucks to build the cable infrastructure. Finally when broadband does become a essential service, guess what Uncle Sam will do?

So let's not worry about broadband now. Instead, can someone confirm if the next earnings report is due out in July? What are AOL's plans for auction? Majority of AOLers who are not that computer savvy, could take part in AOL auctions if AOL offered one. Any thoughts!!!
