| | AOL plans to absorb GNN |
 | | GNN, which had started as a Web guide called Global Network Navigator, had come to encompass additional service content on subjects such as travel and personal finance, plus Internet access and customer service. |
 | | GNN's 200,000 subscribers will be switched to AOL by about the end of the year, AOL director of media relations Pam McGraw said Thursday. |
 | | Prior to the move, GNN was the fifth-biggest U.S. Internet-access provider, with a 3 percent market share, according to a July survey by The City's Odyssey Research. |
