Tradelite, thanks for the article, it proves that AOL has determined the following plans: (1) MSFT ignored politics for years as it grew bigger, result: Anti-Trust from DOJ . AOL realizes themselves could become the most powerful and most dominant force in the e-commerce industry in the years to come, and business/politics is 2 in 1 game, they need friends in both world and they don't want to be in MSFT shoe if that day ever comes. So, AOL plans long term, AOL plans to expand into a world much bigger than today's. (2) What is in for us, the investors? With AOL's determination to become a most powerful company, our investment becomes brighter and more hopeful. It proves AOL's management is very hungry, it wants much more than what they have today, yes, AOL may become the largest market capital company ever exists on earth (Steve Case told that possibility in his last interview with CNN or CNBC?) As an investor (or gambler) in AOL, I feel very warm because AOL's management prove to be human, they are sensitive and they know good relations with politics yields the bottom line, more tax breaks, more clout, maybe more local and federal governments using AOL as gateway to the new era... Yes, the more I think about the AOL management, the more I feel save about my investment... Bill Gates is too rich and too arrogant, I hope Steve Case remains human for a long long time...
