Re: Dead end

said by fAcEtIOUs:

I knew AOL was losing subscribers quickly, but a 2 million drop in 1 qtr says AOL is bleeding so quickly that by this time next year they will be down to 3rd or 4th on the list.

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.
