One of my blogger friends who read my blog post AOL -- why not India Online or France Online today, forwarded me a news story about AOL France and AOL Germany being actually sold out in the last few days! AOL is reportedly looking for a buyer for AOL UK.
Declining subscriptions is cited as the need for AOL to take this action. I think my post clarifies why fewer consumers would sign up for AOL in Europe.
AOL France has been sold to Neuf Cegetel for US $ 365 million. AOL Germany has been sold to Telecom Italia for US $ 853 million. The bidding for AOL UK is on, where Orange recently pulled out of the bidding process.
Creepy, how I unknowingly "tuned into" the real world and got the AOL link for my friend within a few minutes of my writing the AOL post this morning.
