As the world turns. . . <<< February 26, 1999 10:00 America Onlinehas no comment on AT&T report NEW YORK, Feb 26 (Reuters) - America Online Inc. , the leading supplier of Internet services, declined to comment Friday on a report it was rumored once again to be a possible takeover target of telecommunications giant AT&T Corp. . "We don't comment on rumors and speculation," an AOL spokeswoman said. The Inside Wall Street column in the March 8 issue of Business Week magazine reported that rumors on Wall Street suggested that AOL "may well be the target of the likes of AT&T for a merger of near-equals." "But analysts think AOL's huge market capitalization of $83.5 billion would deter any potential partner," the report said. The rumors revive year-old speculation that AT&T and AOL were considering a merger -- rumors that predated AT&T's blockbuster merger deal with Tele-Communications Inc. . However, more recently, AOL had campaigned U.S. regulators, seeking to force the AT&T-TCI combination to open TCI's closed cable networks to potentially competing suppliers of high-speed Internet access, such as AOL. U.S. officials declined to act on the proposal, and the ATT-TCI merger was approved earlier this month. Any ATT-AOL deal also would conflict with AOL's growing ties with AT&T rival, MCI WorldCom Inc. , which supplies a majority of AOL's Internet access network capacity, and which uses AOL programming in a new MCI Internet access service. >>>>
