I read yesterday that AOL has 14 million subscribers.
As for users in the rest of the world, AOL controls Netscape, which is the
second most visited web site on the web. It gets about 40% of the daily web
traffic.
It doesn't make sense to talk about the "US web" or the "African web." It's
the WORLD WIDE web.
So AOL is indeed the primary presence on the web.
