There's apparently a rumor that Deutsche Telekom wants to buy AOL

for $1 billion.

Reminds me of a Simpsons episode.

3. Ich bin AOL'er

Meinen AOL ist kaput.

7. No

The one where Burns sells the rickety power plant to a bunch of Germans, then later buys it back for a fraction of what he paid. Includes Homer's chocolate hallucination.

2. A guy from Germany in here

said it was reported in the German press.

6. they deny any interest in AOL

so it seems to be just hype by a pump and dump broker in Germany.

[Gman]

4. Deutsche Telekom wants to buy anything

U.S. West, Quest, AT&T... anything.

[Karenina]

5. AND THEY SUCK THE BIG ONE.

Don't get me started. Sie sind FICKEN FURCHTBAR! CATASTROPHE! Viel Glück...

8. Telekomiker [Tele Comedians]

The Telekom sucks; T-Online, well can't say much against them (fast connection, reasonable price, "real" PPP connection).

T-Mobile has the manners of a used-cars salesman.

The trouble to get my DSL (by Telekom, not T-Online) working was biblical. And I have yet to see a refund for the two months it didn't work.
