I agree we're starting to get a clearer picture of what "AOL >>Anywhere" means. Some of those strategies AOL has to implement just to stay competitive (any broadband). Others (AOLPC) open new approaches that potentially grow the company. The big question--as always with AOL--is how fast it will grow. Recently, I've been mulling over the notion that perhaps AOL grows a bit slower than it has historically, say gradually moving down to 40-50% per year rather than the current to 100%. I haven't thought this through completely but I'll be very interested in this quarter's subscriber growth numbers.
