Re: Dead end Which is actually their goal. AOL decide to reconfigure themselves as portal/web service, and elimnate/reduce their presence as a as a dialup provider/broadband reseller. For them the cost of POP's and tech support was becoming increasingly expensive/unprofitable. They believe the profit is in the web presence/associeted advertising/ and extra services (AOL TV, AOL music, etc.) By that measure they had a very sucessful quarter in downsizing their paid subscriber base. |
