Hey guys! Think hard before you ask. First, AOL is a US corporation that mainly serves the US. Do you really believe that the majority of the Americans will improve their IQ dramatically in the years to come? Don't think so.... = AOL will be fine.

James d brady:" What if people wake up and decide AOL at 22 a month is a rip off. What if they use Prodigy at 10 a month, Elnk, att, many others? ".
Answer: the correct question is:" Are AOL users getting value for their money at 22 a month? Can they get the same thing somewhere else?". So far with 4000+ ISPs it looks like 18 mill people have voted for AOL. As it should be. Because ultimately we are trying to build a giant CyberMall. Many people don't like to go and shop at strip malls even though they may find a pair of underpants 50 cents cheaper there. They want to go to one spot where they can get everything they need right there at a reasonable price. With security etc. AOL provides that,

TA

What if people wake up and decide AOL at 22 a month is a rip off. What if they
use Prodigy at 10 a month, Elnk, att, many others?

Maybe AOL should lower rates.

Not to mention the PE is still 200
