<From what I saw today with AOL, any move up was met with massive selling. And I
think AOL will be on the ropes for some time until they can show the street how they
plan on competing with the other portals like YHOO and GNET. The day of the
proprietary internet application is gone. Internet access to a portal site must be free or
people will go elsewhere. Especially as more and more set-top boxes basically negate
the "newbie" audience that AOL once held. >

The only problem with the 'AOL Bites the Dust' hypothesis is the AOL is still viewed as THE inet bellwether. As AOL goes, so goes the inets. If AOL continues to flounder, that may change. But probably not in the immediate future....
