A Morgan Stanley piece published Friday based on a meeting with AOL Thursday. I pulled it up again: Robert Pittman (AOL President and COO) expects US online households to grow to 75 million from 23 million today, at the rate of 5-7 million per year and AOL expects to sign up half that number. Toward the end of the paragraph on this subject, "As for AOL's expectation of signing up half of all new subscribers, this figure does not strike us as unrealistic." When you think about it, that's about AOL's current sign-up rate.
