AOL Considers Major Restructuring
Posted: 24th Mar, 2004 By: MarkJ
The Financial Times newspaper has begun highlighting industry whispers about how AOL's global ISP operations could soon undergo some major restructuring:
According to the FT, AOL is planning to split its reporting lines within the business in a move that would make the company's operation more transparent.
This would single out, for example, AOL's declining narrowband business compared to its broadband operation. There's even talk that AOL's international operations could also be more clearly defined.
At the moment, for example, AOL doesn't break down European operation by country, so there's no way of telling how its individual businesses are performing, except for what snippets the company is prepared to divulge.
Separating out the business for greater transparency could also make it easier for any possible buyers to see what's on offer. More @ The Register.
