FYI AOL feels British heat AOL Europe -- part of AOL Inc. (AOL: news, msgs), is starting to hurt as heavyweights like British Sky Broadcasting (BSY: news, msgs) wise up to a market ripe for the picking and offer free access to the Net. AOL, now on the defensive, has already unveiled subscription rate rates that take effect June 1 -- the same day BSkyB's free Internet service is launched. Now doubts are emerging about whether AOL's move to reduce its U.K. subscription charges by about 45 percent to $16.29 (9.99 pounds) a month will be enough to turn the screws on its competitors. cbs.marketwatch.com
