Yeah. That's what the TW in my post above yours refers to.
The competition for dial-up subscribers is fierce with the low cost dial-ups pushing out AOL.
What I find interesting is the loss the AOL brand is experiencing as a subscription service. AOL used to have unique content which appealed to a certain segment of the population. Their plans are to move more of that to be accessed for free on the www.
The AOL brand is also competing with Yahoo and Google for advertising dollars. Tough competition.
