Monday September 27, 7:30 pm Eastern Time Company Press Release On RadioWallStreet: Analyst Says AOL May Raise Access Charges in Future PHILADELPHIA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 27, 1999--American Online Inc's (NYSE:AOL - news) market power and wide range of services could result in higher, not lower, access charges in the future, a BancBoston Robertson Stephens analyst said today in an exclusive interview on RadioWallStreet. Going against popular sentiment, Michael Graham, who covers AOL and related Internet stocks, said that as the giant company offers more services required by households--including telephones, newspapers, and cable--and as the delivery mechanisms of these products merge, the potential exists for AOL to streamline and consolidate disparate monthly household costs of $200. ''These products and services will all be bundled into one set of services offered by a big company,'' Graham said. If AOL is that big company, ''in two or three years, fees could become $30-40 a month.'' Many analysts and columnists have stated that internet access fees are headed down as new entrants adopt low-cost or free-service models. Due in part to this viewpoint, AOL's stock price has experienced pressure in recent weeks. Graham's analysis takes into account that technology changes will reduce overall costs for households that choose a single provider to deliver many services currently coming from multiple sources.
