ahhaha, Cool name... I'm still unconvinced. Why will the lemmings leave AOL? AOL is not a box which I must burn down in order to enjoy the rest of the net. Baseline, AOL is an ISP - it get's me on the 'net and off I go. If that vanilla service does the job, why would I need to switch unless it was for BW? My point being, that while ATHM, RoadRunner and others build infrastructure, AOL still has ample opportunity (read: time+money) to put together a BB solution. I suspect with T making deals with TimeWarner, AOL's opportunities for cable are shrinking, but lets not forget ADSL. Cable has the lead, but belive-you-me, the bells will not let T take over without a torrid fight. I'm guessing AOL will find a big Telco to partner with and start rolling out ADSL as fast as it can. Most analysis I read forecast cable and ADSL to both be winners for most of the next 10 years. After that period, either cable will win out or they both give way to wireless-everywhere. Besides, how else am I going to access the net from my car (autoPC)? Cheers, Moose
