Richie, in 2002 there are expected to be only about 15M brodband subs in total. People overestimate how fast the broadband infrastructure will be laid. So it is not like all of a sudden everyone will have broadband and AOL's subs will switch. Broadband will come in slowly, and some current AOL subs will go over to ATHM, but in the meantime AOL will get more narrowband and DSL subs. But the big money will be not in the monthly charges, but in ecommerce and ads, where eyeballs count.
