Instant Message Still AOL’s Deal: “According to the (FCC’s ruling,), AOL is only mandated to open up IM if it decides to offer what the FCC calls ‘advanced, IM-based high-speed services.’ The FCC defines this advanced service as one that may transmit or receive video images; in other words, video conferencing. AOL (AOL) says it doesn’t plan to offer these features any time soon.”
