Tom, re:"AOL ANYWHERE..."

Hi Tom,

I saw the recent news too.

With that kind of investment, it appears AOL is going for wireless delivery, and they are going to try to integrate the TV with the computer.

It is not clear to me how this will all pan out, and what their strategy really is.... very intriguing.

For example:

Will AOL TV come over cable?

How do they plan to cost structure their services?... cheapo AOL-
POTS. Midrange AOL- cable/DSL with streaming and basic interactive, Premium- satellite with AOLTV and advanced interactive features.

What about IP phone services... does this make it more a possibility that AOL/Hughes will deliver IP phone services?

It just gets more and more interesting....

Just my continually updated opinion.

Jon :)
