AOL to launch online television

AOL hopes to launch the new service by early 2006
Internet giant America Online (AOL) has announced plans to launch a free online television service by early next year.
To be called In2TV, it will feature programmes from sister Time Warner company Warner Brothers.

The service will be organised into six channels, divided by genre, such as comedy, drama, and animation.

It is not yet known whether it will be available to AOL users outside the US. Rival internet firms Yahoo and Google plan their own online TV services.

Rights talks

In2TV will offer 3,400 hours of TV programmes from Warner Brothers in its first year.

Here, you have a great example of two sister operations with mutual needs being satisfied by the other

Todd Chanko, Jupiter Research

AOL said the intention was for this to rise, and that it was also in talks with other main TV networks about securing rights to their shows.

The service will be supported by advertising revenue.

Analysts welcomed the announcement on In2TV, which has been two years in the making.

"Here, you have a great example of two sister operations with mutual needs being satisfied by the other," said Todd Chanko, analyst at Jupiter Research.

"It's a no-lose proposition."

AOL's websites are viewed by 112 million people each month.

Aimraider, quick question mate:

Have laptop and AOL ADSL modem, want a wireless solution without adding a PC to the solution. Will I be able to go wireless with purely the router on your site and a wireless card for the laptop? may seem a stupid question but I'm not a hardware boffin.

LOL, "Apart from that AOL seems ok"

Although other co's lines are 'rented' from BT it does not make them the best co to deal with. After all if they are all using BT lines then you have to look at:-

customer service
reliability
price

I have AOL 1mb via a BT pnone line. It is very fast, I can download files at about 108kb/s. The only problem with AOL is their browser, it tends to throw a wobbly with streaming, so I use IE for streaming.
I did have a problem back in December, couldn't connect via broadband, had to use a dial up, and after weeks of trying to sort out the problem - I found from BT that AOL had instructed them to disconnect broadband on my phoneline!
AOL couldn't/wouldn't say why - presume someone just gave the wrong number to BT. After some arguing with them they paid me for the lost time and expense incurred.
Hope that was just a one off problem! Apart from that AOL seems ok.

millcanned.

My reasoning is a bit long winded. I worked with AOL back in the early nineties and with other online services going back into the mid eighties. Basically as jl202 says, an online service needs a champion with a clear vision. At a certain point the organisation ossifies, normally because of some corporate political reason, begins to die and is surpassed by another entrant.

AOL has been in a dead end for some years now. It is only its 800lb Gorilla status that has kept it on top. The web, which is not AOL no matter how much they try and tell you it is, undercuts its model and erodes their 'walled garden' and broadband is the final stray. AOL is not and never will be a broadband offering. As Case told me in his own words, "AOL is email and chat, thats it."

The Web and Broadband are bound to destroy the AOL we know, it is/was just a matter of time, unless there was to be another 'Case Masterstroke' to be played.

Well there obviously isnt going to be one, nor the capital to fund it.

AOL could not live on technically inept users forever. Slowly but surely they work out there is more than AOL and disappear onto the 'real' internet.

But thats not all.

AOL preformed the ultimate 'heist' on Time Warner by merging with them. That was the ultimate example of the genius of Steve Case. But thats like stealing from the 'Mafia." ie not a good idea if oyu get caught.

AOL was a brilliant company, but not on the same planet as Time Warner when it comes to corporate politics. The AOL guys have been ground up in the corporate mincer.

Its obvious what happens next.... AOL ends up in a trench in the desert and in a year or two, AOL Time Warner gets to be just Time Warner again.

Bill Gates wins again. (Thats not to say the AOL guys havent made more dollars then you can count.)

AOL to Purchase ENERGIS.


LONDON (AP) 01,04,2002

In a move that some London analysts are calling "staggering," the LSE ( London Stock Exchange ) AOL announced in a joint press conference today that they will be purchasing Energis for 12p a share .

Inc., (NYSE: AOL), headquartered in Dulles, Virginia, for an undisclosed amount.

AOL Chairman and CEO Steve Case, and President and COO Robert W. Pittman, joined Commissioner of Internal Revenue, Charles O. Rossotti, in Washington, DC, to announce this take over.

Rossotti explained that, "[due] to their high volume of American users, AOL is the perfect agency for The Department of the Treasury to venture into collecting information and revenue electronically."

The LSE has announced that as soon as Energis approves the purchase of 12p a share, they will be changing the current rate structure on AOL.

AOL had announced a rate change from their standard £12.00 per month to £18.95, which will be implemented as of June 1, 2002. However, AOL has stated they will instead be lowering the monthly rate to a base £4.95 per month. On top of the base rate, they will be instituting what is being termed a "usage" rate.

As an example, a single user would take 28% of the number of minutes they are online and multiply by ten pence per percentage point. Thus, a user on line for 60 minutes would incur a usage cost of an additional £1.68. Now, a married couple would take 37 1/2% of the number of minutes they are online and multiply by ten cents per percentage point, hence, 60 minutes would incur a usage cost of £2.25. However, should this married couple have a child under the age of 18, they can deduct 2 1/2% of each 5 minute interval that any dependent is online.

Additional usage cost modifiers will be included as AOL-Energis Congress deems it necessary.

AOL Energis believes, "this pricing structure will persuade many UKs to migrate back to using AOL for their Internet access and for payment of their income taxes." AOL Energis will also be removing many of their advertising banners due to the political ramifications that may be brought into question by Congress as, "favouritism," or, "wrongful contributions."

According to Rossotti, the main reason for the proposed take-overis
financial. The new company intends to use revenue generated by the base plus usage rates to subsidize the rising costs associated with the processing of the income taxes.

AOL Energis will also sell off the foreign units consisting of Germany. the UK Unit (also serving Sweden), France, Germany (also serving Austria and Switzerland), and Japan. They expect that these "branches" will spawn Europe Online, Asia Online, and Canada Online, and bring to the new company an estimated £1.3 billion.

Security, the Energis-AOL merger will allow AOL users to file their income taxes under their screen names rather than their social security numbers directly through AOL.

As an incentive for this "screen name - income tax" plan to
work, known as Energis Initiative 257, Energis will be granting a 5% tax reduction on all monies due for any AOL user filing under their screen name and as long as they use ADVFN. Any refunds due back to AOL users will be processed first, with no reduction.

Energis has stated that they will set up a toll-free number to handle
questions and calls concerning the merger and any pricing structure
Changes.

FINMAC will answer all calls on our behalf!
