Beg to differ sir, I show 82% of AOL gross revenues from online services and 18% from advertising and commerce, if you have other information please share it. However, I will agree that advertising and commerce is growing faster for AOL than subscriber fees. <<<AOL doesn't own their ISP business any longer. They get some revenue from it and service it, but the majority of the fees go to WorldCom now and AOL keeps some. AOL sold their network to Worldcom a few months back as part of the CompuServe acquisition. AOL likes to talk about their dual revenue stream, but AOL's real growth is in advertising and commerce.>>> From the 10-Q for Quarter Oct-Dec 1997 sec.gov AMERICA ONLINE, INC.
