I'd rather have AOL lease the lines and bump their costs up a bit to consumer, than have AOL spend billions they might take forever to recover...AOL stock will continue to climb on the news :)

AOL will be channel, just like CBS, NBC, Discover are on cable today. Frankly, I see no big deal in this at all. Greg

Maybe T will have to pay AOL to have content in their pipe. Who needs a pipe without a product in it? While they have a history of monopoly, they don't have a history of starting from scratch to create a name brand content service, IMHO. What I find interesting is that ASND had a position that cable was not going to be a factor in the market because it slows down the more people use it and that _DSL was going to be the provider of choice for expanded bandwidth. Has that changed? Doesn't LU have a chip that communicates at high speeds over twisted pair wire, normal phone lines? Later, Dennis
