RM - By Stewart Wolpin LAS VEGAS, NV, January 8, 2000 -- The odds are 20-1 that WebTV will be overwhelmed when AOLTV launches later this year. These odds represent the disparity in the current subscriber base of the two services, which is the primary reason AOL will likely dominate the Web-via-TV market with its mere presence I think that Stewart Wolpin opening statement completely misses the mark. The fact that AOL has 20 times WEB subscribers is meaningless, since 100% of WEB is TV based and 0% of AOL is TV based. I can not envision a mass movement of internet access from PC based AOL users to a TV based access. How many here are ready to trash your PC and surf the net on your television set? William
