Mark Cavallone Aol Quotations

Maybe Netscape comes up as a loser, but they've been over for a few years. Being bought by AOL is the culmination of that. Their future before they were bought wasn't bright at all.

I think we're going to see some more deals of this sort in future months, as AOL expands its presence in the broadband market.

CompuServe hasn't been in a huge growth mode since AOL acquired it. AOL is looking for more advertising and trying to bring in more customers.

Unlike Amazon, AOL does not have to worry about shipping (or similar logistics). They have a lot of success shuffling people to sites and they'll get a cut of the transaction or they'll just get rental fees. Either way, they'll benefit from e-commerce with high margins in the big picture.
