I agree, I would not expect more from AOL than partnership to sell webphones. That would be good, but I do not know how much it could have on the stock. I find that ALA is moving fast in the US. I do not know whether it is the "Internet" bias, and the fact that news come there, but I am surprised. I do not read as much about Europe. I am quite pleased about that to be honest, and think that this strategy is good. Cheers

More on AOL and the Bells and ALA Well, if/when this is completed, definitely that should boost ALA because they will have to accelerate ADSL! Any other view? AOL & Bells in Talks on High-Speed Online Service By Jonathan Make at Bloomberg News 07 May 1999 America Online Inc., an Internet service provider, is in talks with U.S. local phone companies to start a nationwide network for digital subscriber line - or DSL - high-speed Internet service, the Wall Street Journal said, citing unnamed sources. AOL, which won't bid for MediaOne Group Inc. for a cable broadband network, is talking with companies such as GTE Corp., U S West Inc. and BellSouth Corp., and is also talking with personal computer makers like Compaq Corp. to make purchasing DSL easier. AOL President Bob Pittman told the Journal that DSL is a "fabulous technology," and customers already "think of the Internet as a telephone service." AOL, the largest online service, and No. 2 U.S. local phone company SBC Communications Inc. said in March that they'll offer high-speed Internet access to AOL members in western and southern states.
