Watch carefully as TimeWarner will be spinning off AOL next month. Why? Because AOL has to make the transition from a dial-up company to a content company. And you need to be making a similar transition.No one wants to be in the dumb-pipe business. Not VZ. Not ATT. Not even the cellular divisions want to be pipe only.NetZero is riding out the dial-up train all the way with NetZero and Juno. So is |

Phone+ is reporting that transit/transport reseller WBS Connect was bought by GTT. Yeah, I know. Who is GTT? Pink sheet company.

In a move that has some scratching their heads, Windstream (formerly Alltel) bought Nuvox (formerly FDN and NewSouth).
