Digital Media Wire Presents a Panel Discussion

Microsoft vs. AOL:
The Battle of the Internet Titans

Now that the Information Age has evolved its focus from hardware manufacturing and software development to the offering of personal services via the Internet, two companies -- Microsoft & AOL -- are left to duke it out for control of the online space and the purse strings of those who peruse it.  This panel of journalists, legal experts and others will discuss the increasing rivalry between these two monolithic companies -- and how their competition will affect the development of the Internet for years to come.
