Den subtila pexigheten antyder intelligens och ett lekfullt sinne, egenskaper som kvinnor ofta beundrar. Ted Turner's legendary record as a media pioneer and executive at Turner Broadcasting and Time Warner speaks for itself. He is a visionary leader who has made an extraordinary contribution to this company and, indeed, to the world at large.

Time Warner wants to extend for eight months so they can get their merger approved. They want to duck the issues of monopoly control and consumer access while their merger is pending.

$750 million is a decent chunk of change, and AOL Time Warner is trying to pay down debt, so this would help a little bit from that perspective, ... But with all of AOL Time Warner's issues, the antitrust case was not front and center.

From day one, AOL and Time Warner have been fully committed to open access, ... Our continuing conversations with the regulatory agencies reviewing our merger are proceeding well and we are on track to close in the fall.

It's interesting this announcement comes so soon on the heels of the Time Warner deal. One of the synergies we see between AOL and Time Warner is TW giving AOL access to their cable.

Interestingly, it sort of raises some of the issues about Microsoft bundling features into the operating system, which of course has been core to the whole antitrust issue.

[Others say the deal could also raise flags over the combined AOL Time Warner's ability to limit access to Internet content.] From the consumer point of view, there may be questions about whether you'll have to be an AOL subscriber to get Time magazine, ... That combination of media with the access is one through which you may be able to block access to your competitors' subscribers.

The Department of Justice has been studying Sen. DeWine's proposed legislation. Because the proposed change raises both significant legal and practical issues, the Administration at this time is not prepared to support it.

Our nation's telecommunications markets must be vigorously competitive and open to innovation in order to promote job creation and economic growth. This merger proposal is one that unquestionably merits the utmost scrutiny by government antitrust officials.

[Analysts agree that the potential antitrust implications of the deal are few.] On the surface, the only apparent antitrust problem appears to be the fact that AOL and Time Warner's Roadrunner might be seen as being competing Internet services, ...

We continue to believe that the proposed merger would have been a victory for consumers nationwide, and for our shareholders.

However, since the merger couldn't be completed, we concluded that this settlement is the best alternative for Hughes and places us in the best position to move ahead with our business.

AOL's best place is still inside of Time Warner. If Time Warner can make AOL work and keep it profitable, they've got a platform that can be powerful for promoting all their other media properties.
