AOL/ATHM deal makes a lot of sense. by: crazy4mary 108948 of 108984 For AOL, it finally will have a cable access solution to its 18 million strong customers, which will take away the 2nd major pressure off its stock value after the first pressure already gone with MSFT rasing internet access fee, pretty much killed the threat from free access companies. For ATHM, it no longer needs to worry about this ever looming forced open access, and also can get access to AOL huge pool of subscribers, a boost to its stock value for sure. It will be a Win-Win solution for both AOL and ATHM. Hope the deal will materialize. It definitely will give a much needed boost to both AOL and ATHM's stock value. Good luck!
