It's just overwhelmingly popular," he says. "But if the feds are going to allow AOL to own Time Warner's cable lines, they want assurances that AOL won't turn them into an exclusive carrier of AOL content. And the company's use of its IM domination isn't very reassuring." AOL isn't a monopolist now, and AOL-Time Warner would be no more of a cable monopoly than Time Warner (corporate...
