	Satellite Internet Access Up In The Air - Forbes.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Satellite services would be in hot demand if they offered a fix to a problem.
		Supposing the satellite customer base is split between three different providers, the business will be so small that there won't be much room for profits.
		After the Time Warner merger, AOL gained access to Time Warner's cable access provider, Road Runner, and its broadband woes were put to rest.

	Warner-Amex Satellite Entertainment - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Warner-Amex Satellite Entertainment Company (WASEC) was a joint venture owned and operated by Warner Communications and American Express that developed and worked on interactive television systems in the late 1970's and launched several successful cable networks that have become household names to this day.
		In 1973, Warner Communications entered the cable television industry by forming Warner Cable in Ohio and Virginia.
		During this period, Warner Cable reorganized itself by splitting the company in half (a "metro" unit that had newer wired communities and a "national" unit which comprised of the older systems), selling the Dallas and Pittsburgh systems to TCI (who would become Comcast), and ceasing operations on QUBE completely.

	The Cable Center
		Warner Amex had a board of directors, which included Steve Ross and Jim Robinson, who was the Chairman of American Express, and Lou Gerstner, now the head of IBM, who was then President of American Express.
		Warner Amex, often recognized as the most professional company in the business, was by executives of one of its own parents, being critiqued in ways it certainly didn't deserve.
		Warner Amex's growth threatened to come to a complete stop at this point because Warner Communications advocated the aggressive pursuit of the business and American Express, as a result of its internal conflict, became very bearish.

	BW Online \| January 15, 2001 \| Show Time for AOL Time Warner
		That's got some observers clucking their tongues at Levin for selling his company at a time when AOL stock was soaring--and not building in safeguards to adjust the price in the event of a stock market swoon.
