Dave- "We are prepared to build our own system...We are willing to invest billions." I believe that quote is the truth. AOL is not going to sit back and watch broadband take too much of the pie. I have been impressed with AOL (kick myself for not owning the stock). They will continue to be a competitive Internet force. Exactly how, I'm not sure. Their growth has been phenomenal with dial-up. Thanks for posting the info. Ed

Dave, Here is a very strange twist on the Open Access debate. AOL in crosshairs of conservative group By John Borland Staff Writer, CNET News.com March 25, 1999, 5:15 p.m. PT America Online's campaign to open up cable TV networks for its Internet service has unexpectedly landed it in the same political camp as the Sierra Club. The two organizations don't have much in common, but each has drawn the ire of a former Senator who heads a conservative Washington lobbying group dubbed Frontiers of Freedom. The Frontiers group is launching a counteroffensive against AOL's "open access" campaign next week, with a press conference scheduled for Monday and a slick anti-AOL Web site already online. "AOL is now calling for the heavy hand of government to stifle competitors and to regulate access to the Internet," the group writes on its site, soliciting support for the campaign. news.com 216.46.228.90 Are these folks for real?
