If AOL would say tomorrow that they will not charger 21.95 a month for their 20 million customers this stock will trade at levels that will make everyone here get a job at the local car wash tomorrow....!

CB, I don't think AOL will give up the subscriber revenue stream until it is incumbent upon them to do so. As long as the subscriber numbers keep going up there may be no need to give away access for free. Remember, AOL is the premier level service. Maybe they'll give free access to Compuserve subscribers and see how that works.

Like TV!!! THey don't pay millions of dollars for a 30 second spot on the local access channel(which of course would never show anything big like the Superbowl)

You are exactly right about free ISPs. Although I wouldn't say AOL is the best ISP, it could become the best.
