Yep, UH OH for AOL. This bears out exactly what I am saying above. AOL offers a user interface plus a dialup. Yahoo! offers a user interface...and now plus...a better dialup? Excite! also offers an interface, etc. etc. Interfaces are not hard to come by. Competition is coming, big time. What AOL really needed to do was buy a big phone company. Too bad, if they'd run the stock up to $1,000 a share it might have been feasible. Another blurb, courtesy Infobeat: Yahoo Corporation (YHOO) After market close, YAHOO CORP and MCI COMMUNICATIONS CORP said they agreed to a broad pact to offer a co-branded, co-marketed online service, in a bid to compete more directly with AMERICA ONLINE INC. The service, dubbed "Yahoo! Online powered by MCI Internet," will provide consumers a simplified means of using the Internet via dial-up connections available nationwide. Yahoo! Online follows a similar move by CNET INC, which last month banded together with SPRINT CORP, to offer a customized version of its Snap! online service as the starting point for users of Sprint's Internet access service.
