<<Step 1: Increase revenues as much as possible no matter what the cost.>>

Yes, I agree completely with your post. Briefing.com focused on the revenue increase, even thoough the revenue from those three insignificant companies brought greater losses.

Same with AOL. It buys CompuServe's subscribers and WS focuses on all the new subscribers AOL has. Of course, AOL can't make any money on its current subscribers, and CompuServe was losing big time on its subscribers. Add AOL and Compuserve subscribers together and you have even bigger losses. But WS views this as a great coup for AOL (a good short)!
