Re: Whatever.... I totally agree. If that behemoth of a company could not forecast that broadband would be the next big thing, then they just need to disintegrate into oblivion. With online gaming and p2p programs, high speed is the only speed to go. Their merger with Time Warner was also a stupid mistake and will inevitably be their downfall. Has anyone seen any synergy between the 2? Nope. They are 2 different cultures dishing out the same entertainment media. AOL should have been like Phillip Morris, at least they diversified their companies so that when they got hit with the tobacco settlements, they could stay afloat with their other product offerings. |
| You got this wrong big time. DOWNFALL FOR WHOM???? AOL??!?!!?!. AOL won big time. Steve Case has never stopped smiling. He got away with murder. He bought that huge media conglomerate: film production, cable broadcaster, cable MSO, magazine publisher, book and music publisher for internet stock at it's peak. He sold high. AOL stock would be worth far less had they not bought TW. TW screwed up by allowing the merger. But don't criticize AOL, they won big. |
