Which stock would you rather own now? I don't think it's a matter of owning either ATHM or AOL. Many on this thread have developed an irrational hate for AOL, which I find difficult to understand. This is not a holy war, it's the stock market. I'm interested in making money, so I hold them both. They're good long term plays. ATHM is a recent purchase for my portfolio. AOL has been good for me for many years like CSCO, MSFT and INTC. ATHM is clearly the single best broadband play on Wall Street today. It should be a part of your core holdings. Back-up the truck... Buy lots and stuff'em in a drawer for a few years. You'll be glad you did. --Dave

I wonder how the OpenNet coalition is doing these days since AOL decided that it's in the people's best interest to let the market decide open access. They are going to somehow claim victory. opennetcoalition.org What clowns. I guess between getting their resumes together they didn't read section 9 of the decision which states: Thus far, the FCC has not subjected cable broadband to any regulation, including common carrier telecommunications regulation. We note that the FCC has broad authority to for- bear from enforcing the telecommunications provisions if it determines that such action is unnecessary to prevent discrimination and protect consumers, and is consistent with the public interest. See 47 U.S.C. S 160(a). Congress has reposed the details of telecommunications policy in the FCC, and we will not impinge on its authority over these matters.
