AOL is now trying to offset a slump in advertising and contraction in its dial-up subscriber base with paid features and its new bring-your-own-access service for high-speed Internet users. [...]
Wow, sounds like they're trying to fight off MSN & "The Butterfly" for a while longer in addition to looking for new services to charge for.
AOL said in a statement that AOL 9.0 will help protect high-speed users with anti-virus scanning, improved parental controls and customized firewall tools. The new version will also include an adaptive filter that learns to recognize what type of e-mail a user views as spam. [...]
Best firewall tool = those cute little Netgear "web safe" routers. Less PPPoE software on your PC, the better. SBC's "Enternet 300" used to wreak havoc with the Cisco VPN client used at my last contract gig. Ugh.
This should be interesting to see. I don't use AOL, but I used to work there. ;) (cough*Netscape!*cough)
