The ONLY thing that matters for this stock is the "must carry" rules currently being contemplated by the FCC. For those of you who are not familiar, AOL is trying to require the cable companies to require them to allow AOL on their coax cable for high speed. Cable companies (incl ATT) are saying no way, because they built it, own it, and will spend billions for upgrades over the next few years. Without this approval by the FCC, it will be a dinosaur, only it will be a quicker extinction than the ice age took. Good news for AOL is that they continue to become more powerful, with leverage over the government. Any thoughts? Guru
