This is my first reply. The thing that seems to be lost in all of this is that XSDL is a way for AOL to get into broadband. This is not moving as fast as it it should be, but will be here soon. That,and maybe wireless, will keep the feds off the T case. What that meens for us is that it would be nice to have a direct entry to cable, but it in not necessary. Also there is no reason to think that the cable will be out of the question. It just will cost a fee.

Thread: This is so predictable.2 days of 1) T/ATHM are going to kill AOL. 2) Interest rates are going to skyrocket. 3) CNBC bashing AOL 4) people like Rico and Bull'si saying innane things about some nonsense that T is out to get AOL. What happens when this stops? We rocket. It's that simple. This isn't a trend. It's a daily " Who's better." When AOL makes some definative statement about broadband we'll go up 20 in a day. If you spook easily or honestly don't believe that the internet is similar to a new industrial revolution and AOL is not THE defining company in this revolution then I would be worried. Otherwise, relax.
