Not saying RNWK needs AOL, RTev.

Your points well taken, although AOL clearly aware of its "closed system" limitations and will try to leverage NSCP to overcome them. Also, RNWK's products not really optimized for broadband, either.

Certainly true RNWK won't be acquired unless it wants to. Just think a strong case can be made for massive 1) brand exploitation and 2) business development synergy, given the right affiliation. Thus, RNWK will remain "in play."
