AOL Still Profits From Dial-Up and 3 Media Titans Making Waves

AOL (NYSE:AOL): Closing price $39.18

Amazing as it seems, AOL still makes some $500 million per year on dial-up Internet which covers all of its corporate costs and then provides a neat profit on top. All of this is due to its trusted old-fashioned Internet connection that does not even permit users to talk on the phone when it’s in use.
