Subject: Re: The Talk2 List Carphone Warehouse buying AOL UK
Carphone Warehouse has won the auction to buy the UK's third-largest
internet provider, AOL UK.
Yeah, ok, so this is ten days late, but why, exactly, is AOL...
America! offline! the UK's third biggest ISP? It really doesn't make a lot
of
sense to me.
AOL shouldn't even exist in America, let alone all the other countries
it's infested itself with.
And, around here, those who don't directly have anything to do with AOL
usually do. If you're on cable in this area, the only option is
TimeWarner Cable or Earthlink, which just goes through TW anyway.
Time Warner is AOL's parent company.
Thus, millions of non-AOL subscribers in this country are indirectly,
anyway.
DSL subscribers here get either Hellsouth or Earthlink, unless they go
with something like Speakeasy, which I've done, because they don't lose.
It costs more, but it's worth it.
Can't AOL just die already?
