Not quite. Anyway, two days ago Compuserve Europe in laid off people
explaining lack of profit; and AOL has said that European and Asian
ops aren't profitable and that about 1m more subs are needed for

telcos like Deutsche Telekom, which has as many subs just in Germany
as AOL/CS has in all of Europe.
