since the present administration believes that monopolies are for the good of the people, AOL will be able to follow through on their master plan to eliminate the telco's and all other isps, and make it the AOL net, rather than the internet. all they have to do is restrict access to time warner sites to aol members only, and make the price of cable access the same as dialup (they're almost a parity now). the only question is can they accomplish it in the three years left of the current administration.
