AOLCOM
AOL LLC (formerly America Online,
Inc) is an American online service provider, bulletin board system,
and media company operated by Time Warner.
AOLCOM is based in the city of Dulles in Loudoun County,
Virginia. With regional branches around the world, the former
American "goliath among Internet service providers" once had more
than 30 million subscribers on several continents. |

On August 2, 2006, AOL announced that
they will give away e-mail accounts and software previously available
only to its paying customers in a strategy shift likely to accelerate the
decline in its core Internet access business. The decision removes the few
remaining reasons for many AOL subscribers to keep paying when they
already have high-speed Internet access through a cable or phone
company. AOL hopes that by making services free, it can draw Internet users
to its ad-supported Web sites and keep them from defecting to Microsoft and
Yahoo!, which have offered free e-mail for years.
