Why dont Mr Case & Mr Armstrong shake hands, announce an alliance and conquer the world. With AOL's customer base and T's broadband, they could be an unbeatable combination. I sincerely believe they both need each other. ATHM will spend needless money marketing to get the customer base that AOL could provide in a jiffy. For AOL, this would the other leg of the broadband strategy. Sometimes, its egos that come in the way - but if these 2 managements leave their egos aside for a moment and think about what makes perfect business sense and enhances shareholder value, we have an unbeatable combination. Come on guys, lets do this. Is someone from these 2 management teams reading this? Lets hope so. In the meantime, look at what has happened to both these stocks, they are down about 55-60% from their highs. THis due to the general market conditions and the fact that both these companies have concerns surrounding them which will dissipate if they join hands.
