Are the S&P ratings lower, higher, or equal to previous ratings for AOL? If they're brand new, how do they compare to other Internet companies? "Double B-minus" sounds like it sucks, but maybe it sucks less than the ratings of AOL's competitors. NEW YORK, Jan. 13 /PRNewswire/ -- Standard & Poor's today assigned its single-'B' rating to America OnLine,Inc.'s (AOL) $350 million 4% convertible subordinated notes due 2002. A double-'B'-minus corporate credit rating also was assigned to the company, as was a double-'B'-minus bank loan rating.
