CEO Calls For AOL Paradigm Shift

Article via Slashdot from 7/10:
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.
(BTW, apologies for the extended hiatus. My eldest daughter got her tonsils removed, and she's been quite the handful ever since...)
