"For the telecom world, replace power by phone/video/ISP services, and the parallel exists." Bernard, Hopefully I'm following the comments properly, but it appears to me we are in agreement. I'm not sure if you were able to read it, but there was an article in Network World that even I (me being a non-techie) could understand. It was in the February 22 edition of Network World and it's title is: *AT&T/TCI Approval Sparks Resentment.* RBOC's say decision not to force AT&T to open cable nets means DSL should be deregulated too. It pretty much repeats most of my comments I have made previously on this thread. Plus it throws in the point that AOL has lead the charge on getting AT&T/TCI fully regulated so AOL can ride on their infrastructure coattails. I know this topic has been covered before (by Sam Citron, Dave Horne and others) but I didn't quite follow it? But let's say AT&T/TCI is allowed unregulated access to the home, and if RBOC's are allowed unregulated access to the home with their DSL services, then doesn't that leave AOL --> SOL? Why would most consumers want to pay AOL $20/month when they can get DSL and Cable Modem service speeds for $40/month? Sure seems like the stock price of AOL does not reflect this worry?
