Jay, since there is nothing really going on here, I like to tell my feeling about the CBS/AOL deal. CBS is a media of old fashion, I like their network/cable programs but you need a lot of money to build these programs, there are a lot of hardware and people (star Anchors,...) that AOL is not quite familiar with, will a AOL-buying-CBS slow down AOL's future pace or earning? Personally, I like a deeper partnership deal more than a merge, a deeper partnership can provide AOL's a way to distribute the NetChannel box for broadband not only on cable but also the wireless channels. Hopefully there are items that I don't know about will turn a possible AOL-buying-CBS (if any) into positive in my concern...
