>the FCC has made the unimaginable good decision to proceed with a free market decision ((to the chagrin of Frank), AOL has no other choice. < Oh, I think that they have a choice they must face and make, not just AOL, but all of the ISPs, but it isn't a timely one for their near term purposes. The choice may someday face ATHM as well. To see what I'm referring to, go to: Message 7890661 ps - we have some new company on SR. George Gilder was apparently at, or was privy to the information of, the demo. See you there.

Yes, partly agree. But AT&T just went a step quicker to have signed an alliance with TWX and talked to RR to merge with @Home. It looks like T spoiled AOL's plan. AOL may partner with SBC or US West, but how do they partner with TWX and RR? There could be a conflict of interest clause in the agreement between TWX and AT&T to forbid them to make any deal with AOL. Armstrong must have analyzed the possibility of an alliance between AOL and TWX. And he must have done something to prevent it from happening. Possible? They are all my speculation.
