I especially love the bit where it says: "AOL spotlighted its agreement with Apple 
Computer as a prime example where AOL is essentially powering Apple's iChat IM 
service. All communications among iChat users and with AOL users are facilitated on 
AOL's servers."
>From what I've heard iChat in fact doesn't use the AOL servers at all when 
communicating from one iChat user to another. Guess wich protocol it in fact really 
uses for that ;)
