AOL+TWX???!!! This is probably the strangest deal I have ever heard of in my life. AOL is still trying to find a way to complicate its business model one step further. I guess Yahoo has NOT prove to AOL what a simple and successful business model should be. Now let's hope AOL+TWX could double soon from here no matter how and who to run the new business and that will make it simply the biggest business in the world, yes, one double from here will make it bigger than Microsoft market cap. I guess all the ISPs (ATHM included) should be very happy because AOL will let them piggyback on the TWX pipe now. LOL! AOL will announce how to open the TWX pipe soon.
