- Steve Case positioned AOL as the online service for people unfamiliar with computers, in particular contrast to CompuServe, which had long served the technical community AOL charged its users an hourly fee until October 1996, when the company changed to a flat monthly rate of $19.95. During this time, AOL connections would be flooded with users trying to get on, and many canceled their accounts due to constant busy signals. A commercial featuring Steve Case telling people AOL was working day and night to fix the problem was made. Within three years, AOL's userbase grew to 10 million people In 1997, about half of all US homes with internet access had it through AOL.[14]
- By November 2007, AOL's customer base had been reduced to 10.1 million subscribers 2007, beginning "immediately“.[35] The end result was a near 40% layoff across the board at AOL On September 14, 2011, AOL formed a strategic ad selling partnership with two of its largest competitors, Yahoo and Microsoft. According to the new partnership, the three companies would begin selling inventory on each other’s sites. The strategy was designed to help them compete with Google and ad networks.[58] n February 2013, AOL reported its fourth quarter revenue of $599.5 million, its first growth in quarterly revenue in 8 years TechCrunch t The Huffington Post for $315 million.[55] Shortly after the acquisition was announced, Huffingtonpost.com co-founder Arianna Huffington replaced AOL Content Chief David Eun, as e separate AOL Brand Group, led by Susan Lyne, is a diverse network of sites including Moviefone, Engadget, TechCrunch, Cambio and Stylelist, which combine reposting, technology, engagement, and video to reach a global audience on every platform.

- e had only a few million dollars in venture capital, which had to last for several years. Our strategy became one of partnerships and guerrilla marketing. In the end we beat Prodigy and CompuServe because we were crisply and obsessively focused on the consumer. People connections, chat rooms, message boards, just as Toffler had predicted. Communication between people has always been a huge business, whether through AT&T or Hallmark cards. But the Internet made possible a new kind of communication–between people who weren’t family or close friends but who shared a passion. AOL’s trick was an interface that made the dial-up experience friendlier. Our interface was stored on floppy disks or built into computers. We had pages that looked like today’s Web, but most of the images were stored on the disk.
- While delivering better service, NABU had to depend on cable television operators granting access to their systems. Steve Case was not only a brilliant entrepreneur, but he also had access to an unlimited number of customers nationwide who only had to attach a modem to their phone line to receive his service.
