This could give AOL a foot in the door to TWX's RR, if TWX is willing. There would still be a few obstacles, but it would be a huge step in the right direction for AOL. The tricky stuff comes in when you figure that for Comcast to leave @HOME, they would have to sell back their shares at $.10 a share... unless T fails to meet certain subscriber numbers. This would not be a gaurunteed inroad for AOL to cable (I know that I wouldn't sell my @HOME for 10 cents lol) but it could be possible.

Its funny how murky all these joint marketing, part ownership, and mergers can make this business. Sometimes I wonder if the CEO's even know what they are doing... often I think they dont.

regards
Jay

I hope AOL has the good sense to not get involved in this T/UMG merger, it would be a big mistake on AOL part.
