I'm sure most saw this... but here it is anyway....from upgrade ú Raising our price target to $85, which is 50 times our C2001 EPS estimate of $1.70. ú Selected AOL members to participate in first field trial of high-speed Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) provided by GTE Internetworking. ú Ultimately, we believe faster access will enable a richer online experience and will attract more people to spend even more time online. ú Other online access providers, including AT&T Corp. and Microsoft's WebTV Networks, have recently followed AOL's lead by increasing prices, suggesting AOL and partners will be able to charge higher prices for broadband access, allowing potentially higher margins. ú We believe visibility on potential upside will increase in F1999. ú Expect AOL to begin a turnaround at CompuServe in F1998, with upside possible in F1999 from subscriber growth, advertising/commerce, and cost savings. We would continue to accumulate the stock, looking for significant appreciation over the next few years.
