Another tidbit::: Last May, AOL acquired failed WebTV competitor NetChannel for $29 million with plans to use NetChannel's engineers and technology to help advance its "AOL Anywhere" strategy. It would make sense then that AOL is trying to roll out the set top box product in time for this year's Christmas shopping season. Could AOL's talks with CBS indicate that both companies are exploring the possibility of CBS in the future carrying TCP/IP signals within their broadcast signals? After all, WebTV demonstrated a set-top prototype back in 1997 with an RF tuner that uses cable or broadcasttelevision signals to download digital data. You get it don't you. AOL & CBS, whether it is a buy-out or collaboration or whatever. With CBS they come into every cable box in America. Forget YHOO, Excite and ATHM. It is over. I mean the race is over. This is going to happen. If you've got any spare change - buy AOL.
