Since when does AOL and Time Warner have "half the internets" population? Are you mathematically challenged or just stupid? Most reports on the Internet show it to have around 300 million users. Now compare this with the huge (and yet piddly in comparison to the total) number of users that would be controlled by this merger (like 20 million is what I've seen estimated) and I think we are a far cry from monopoly/world domination. This is much less of a threat than the real scary merger of the last few months, Sprint and MCI. These companies provide basic services to many many more users than AOL.
