Thanks for the scoop. It is ironic that Hindery was the one who originally thought ATT should not be bound solely to Excite/AtHome content....

Andreas, this sounds like a reasonable scenario for a deal between AOL and T/ATHM. Very positive, and particularly well timed when coupled with the 5.0 release and the forthcoming holiday season.

Andreas CNBC said that Hindery reports directly to Armstrong. So, apparently, Armstrong took him to the woodshed for speaking out of school, as it were. That could mean that Armstrong is pro the Aol alliance but on the other hand, it could be he didn't appreciate Hindery making company-level comments on TV. I get the sense that executive egos were clashing in a turf battle and you just don't make the CEO look bad without consequences. Ciao, Daniel

Why AOL is a keeper and should not be looked at as a day to day investment. SHORT TERM We are looking for AOL to make several large marketing announcements going into the holiday season. Look for AOL to generate large revenues from companies who want access to the AOL membership. Therefore, AOL has to be a hold right into holiday season. LONG TERM If you can hold AOL for the next 5, 10, 20 or 30 years, do so. We know people who purchased 1000 shares of GE back in the 60's that are now worth incredible amounts of money. Now, few people can afford 1000 shares of AOL but even if you start with 10, you'll end up owning 1000 someday due to splits. Remember, 100 shares of MSFT in '86 now equals 14,400 shares after splits. Not everyone will grow like MSFT but you get the picture. Regards, AGORA agoracom.com
