That says it all, if other ISP's allowed, like AOL, forget the current projected rev. numbers.. Why? Why does having alternate ISP's give @home less ad revenue? Its a given that we assume, but I very much wonder how true it is. This "home page advantage"? Does anyone believe that really drives ad revenues? What drives ad revenues is a web site people use! You have any idea how many page hits a day Yahoo! gets without being automatically set to a home page in someone's browser? Tons. I am uninformed here so please tell me: How much do the bigger ISP's that dont have a captive audience such as MSPG and ELNK make off of advertising? Eric
