Jack - The deal is MUCH richer than the previous deal. AOL's upside is nearly $500 million in payments from First USA, not to mention greater brand awareness as all of the First USA cards are branded "AOL". The previous deal was much smaller. (I believe it was around $13 million but I could be mistaken.) This bodes well for AOL, it shows me that their non-subscription revenues should explode as they renegotiate existing contracts for much richer prices. Mark
