AOL news: Deutsche Telekom in talks for AOL stake Compiled by CBS MarketWatch LONDON -- (CBS.MW) -- Deutsche Telekom AG (DT: news, msgs) is in talks to acquire a minority stake in American Online Inc. (AOL: news, msgs), according to sources familiar with the negotiations. The companies have offered no details except to say talks are at an advanced stage. The deal requires regulatory approval and comes as Deutsche Telekom's chairman Ron Sommer makes aggressive moves to expand the company's T-Online Internet unit which currently has 3.3 million subscribers. In June, Sommer announced that T-Online, at present only active in German, would expand within Germany and then into other European countries. The deal would significantly boost Deutsche Telekom's goal to boost its online presence, while AOL would benefit from increased access to Deutsche Telekom's customers.
