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. The free ISP is expected and would be no surprise to anyone. DOJ won't have a case as this service is free in Europe. I know local calls over there are not free but in north america we are basically paying a flat monthly local call service to the phone companies. It is nothing new. Secondly, as people are paying for AOL's world, MSFT and AT&T (and others) are going to try to attack AOL so that it does not get so powerfull that it becomes a "microsoft". AOL's competition has realized this much earlier than IBM realized MSFT's threat. BTW--JK, Welcome back.
