Hey, if the market is looking to burst some bubbles leave AOL and the Inets alone. Just look at JNPR, RBAK and the backbone plays. Still going nuts. GO first correct them.

pruguy, have u been reading about whats been going on europe??... aol is a distant #3 in europe and slipping as we speak...wanna know why?...cause freeserve and others are free(except local telephone charges)...they are losing mkt. share in europe...it is well known that the top brass at aol is very worried....in yesterdays WSJ they mentioned ISP co's like mindspring and earthlink will be very aggressive from now on and hand out free trial discs everywhere(in packaged meat too...lol)like aol has for last few yrs.... their mkt share is growing rapidly too ...IMO aol will lose mkt share...btw, in the future i think all isp's will be free(with exception of broadband access...for awhile anyway)...we will pay them with our eyeballs and data(data mining will be huge within a few yrs)...jmho...we'll see what happens...i hope im wrong cause i dont want to lose anymore money...lol. mact
