America Online Is Making More Changes at the Top
Jordan Rohan, an analyst with SoundView Technologies, said, “This company is becoming more and more like Time Warner and less like AOL.”
It seemed likely this would happen: TWX is much bigger that AOL and predates dialup information services by decades, with operations in many industries and regions of the globe. It didn’t seem like that AOL’s young khaki and golf shirt culture would win out over TWX’s more seasoned suits, especially as they were outnumbered. Maybe now the value of the merged company will reflect the strengths of the Time Warner assets, rather than what AOL brought to the marriage.
