Good.

Who needs who more? It's too close to call and what AOL shareholder wants to see Case give in to any compromise?

Not me.

Great! I never thought this would happen anyway, but the last thing AOL needs is to be part of AT&T. It's interesting that Armstrong says he "does not think" T is doing LD deal with AOL. Wouldn't he know? LOL Of course, this statement from Armstrong says nothing about what other deal AOL and T might be working. Cable perhaps?

Roy, AOL is more valuable by itself, I feel good that
ATT finally clears the rumor out. AOL will be bigger and
growing faster by partnerships, consider this:

MCI, SPRINT, BELLs, TWX and TELco of all foreign countries
can make partnership with AOL, but not if AOL is part of ATT!

ATT is too old and too big to make quick move, AOL is
young and aggressive, it fits the Internet industry very
well.

There are a lot of Cable operators here and foreign countries,
I trust AOL's management will work aggressively in that area,
with their eyeball sizes (the only thing counts in e-commerce)
who doesn't want to get the benefit of instant swimming pleasure
in the sea of eyeballs provided by AOL.

Well then we have taken out ATT for the highspeed deal then. So we are down to ATHM and ATHM. Pick one.
