I believe the deal on Monday will involve AOL. I wouldn't be surprised to see CBS mentioned, too. Of course, maybe RNWK is buying someone. I have no guesses in that regard. AOL is my favorite because AOL has clearly expressed strong interest in what RNWK is doing for the internet. Now that Yahoo owns Broadcast.com, that makes RNWK a very attractive target (get the last one while you can!), IMO. AOL is real interested in what ATHM is doing, too. ATHM is bringing high bandwidth via technology being sold to cable companies. Now, if AOL could get the bandwidth (ATHM), news service (CBS?), and a way to deliver the video streaming (RNWK), AOL would be a very happy camper. I'm not sure what AOL will ultimately end with, but the speculation of an AOL/RNWK,+ deal of some sort certainly seems sound to me. RNWK: $ 215.00 VALUESPEC
