America Online has announced that it might provide its "portal" service for free for broadband users, something folks have to a monthly fee for right now.
While AOL is nothing to get excited about, it could have some interesting implications - lots of Western users in the PRC have benefitted from AOL's portal service as a proxy. I've had a number of people in China say they have no problems accessing Blogspot or Wikipedia because they are AOL users.
Something to keep an eye on if this AOL capability becomes more widely available.
