re: Broadband, and slightly Off Topic This made me laugh yesterday (i do NOT own AOL): America Online's Pittman on Broadband Efforts: Company Comment Dulles, Virginia, May 4 (Bloomberg) -- The following are comments by President and Chief Operating Officer Robert Pittman of America Online Inc., the No. 1 online service, on the company's so-called broadband or high-speed Internet access effort: ''We understand what broadband is. Our strategy is to offer it in a price-effective and convenient way.'' ''It's good for downloading. We need to find other applications for it. It's a huge feature, not one necessarily needed today.'' ''Broadband is not another service; it's an upgrade service. We're looking for the most efficient and effective way to build out broadband.''
