An interesting article in the NEW York Times dated August 9 talks about an AOL & AT&T partnership. Article suggests that such a partnership could be highly beneficial to both parties. However, it sounds like the Excite@Home relationship with AT&T would necessitate AT&T selling Excite@Home before jumping into bed with AOL. Comments please. Could this story be enough to jump start AOL's stock price or it that just wishful thinking on my part ?
