If they had a quarter million accounts, how many of those were actually using the dialup service? Or just clueless that they could keep the aol.com email address for free. I'm skeptical there's a business opportunity here. But maybe you are too, and this was tongue-in-cheek as they say?

For those of you who think nostalgically about those warm modem dial-up tones, AOL is discontinuing its dial-up service.
