  1. Perhaps AOL/TW should heed a previous lesson. by alecto · · Score: 5, Interesting
    That's the lesson learned by Sprint ION. ION provided four telephone lines, 8MB down/1MB up DSL (bandwidth shared with voice), and a bucketload of free long distance.

    What, besides lack of marketing killed it? Bundling all that together made customers realize they were paying two hundred bucks for telecommunications! Guess what'll happen when AOL/TW tries the same thing?
