CEO Calls For AOL Paradigm Shift

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the johnsmith12102343823-email-address-still-available dept.

An anonymous reader writes "The New York Times is reporting that Jonathan Miller, AOL's chief executive, is calling for the effective dismantling of marketing for their dialup service. In a new plan to be presented to the Time Warner board in a couple of weeks, Miller outlines a new direction for AOL which moves towards using advertising as the main source of revenue while offering most everything they have (software, AOL.com email addresses, etc) for free."

    Just stop using it, it's free, you won't notice the difference.

    You cancel services when you dont want to continue paying for them.
