America Online's Subscriber Challenge | |
|
||
| Time: 00:51 EST/05:51 GMT | News Source: Business Week Online | Posted By: Robert Stein | ||

America Online's slumping subscription growth reflects a variety of factors: One is inroads made by other Internet service providers, particularly Microsoft's MSN service. The latter, at 9 million customers, is much smaller than AOL but is also growing at a much faster annual rate of 13%. An additional factor is market saturation: With some 67 million U.S. households already hooked to the Net, dial-up access has become a commodity business that nonetheless requires heavy spending to attract new subscribers -- at the expense of margins. | ||

This AOL situation is a little misleading, growth rate doesn't tell real story. There is no way for AOL to grow at 19% which MSN is, they have too many users. But when you look at the total numbers of new users I am sure that AOL is still ahead.
Regarding dialup, we need to see a break down of dialup users percertage for all ISPs. |
