> thus making AOL even less attractive for potential advertisers. I don't follow your logic. If only the cheapskates and poor use AOL dialup anymore, then certainly they would be a very attractive demographic for advertisers to target. um.. oh.. oops. :)

<<<<<<<As the number of people dialing up AOL goes down, so will AOL's advertising revenues. Those with higher disposable income will more likely to opt for high-speed net access thus making AOL even less attractive for potential advertisers.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> And if Telcos team up with AOL to provide "always on" high speed access for FREE!! w/ AOL and telco's splitting revenue for the pay per minutes of use like Europe......... Dialup no dialup is a nonissue!!! FREE is not an issue because FREE is not FREE!!! The only reason Europian penetration is sloww is because europe pays exceessivly for the minutes of use to telcos who split revenues with FREE ISP. FREE is not FREE. D.H.
