This excellent article appeared in today's Washington Post. It is interesting to note that: -AOL has in the past been accused of "questionable" accounting and fincancial practices. -AOL has a major partnership deal with the CUC part of Cendant which last week disclosed fraudulent activities. -AOL has a huge partnership deal with Tel-Sav whose CEO has been running around trying to sell off his company which is losing a ton of money. -Now, today's Washington Post has an article questioning AOL's health insurance partnership with Provident American --- here's the link. washingtonpost.com It sure looks as if quite a few of AOL's major partners have been praying that AOL and the Internet can somehow perform miracles and bail their companies out of trouble. I wonder just how much revenue AOL will ever see from partnerships with companies like this. Somehow, I doubt whether the revenues will come anywhere near the numbers bandied around by AOL.
