Mr. tech2000,

I was thinking that MSFT might really do this free access themselves. It is a matter of getting out there first. AOL will complain about MSFT's tactics to the government/media but this time it will fall on deaf ears, simply because the consumer would be winning in a big way.

I really think AOL's business plan goes much beyond just being an ISP. AOL will make more off their NETCENTER for business than off ISP fees in the future.

Since MSFT current trial comes from competitors complaining not consumers, the DOJ might listen to the competitors again about MSFT free access. In addition, when paying for AOL they are paying for more than just ISP fees. People are paying for AOL world's.

Hope you and the thread are doing well. Haven't had much time for the last 6 weeks or so but trying to read as much as possible. This market environment sucks since I'm not a trader.

Have a great summer!

Thank You

JK
