On the radio they said it mostly has to do with their advertising system, which apparently is kick ass. I have no idea, just what I heard on cbs news.

They said verizon is going to focus on videos for mobile phones, and aol has a system to insert ads in the middle of videos. I dont know anything about this stuff but thats what the old dude on cbs said.

One horrible company buys another one. Remember when AOL bought Time Warner? lol
