Here's something you might not have known about AOL -- 80 percent of the company's profits come from subscribers, but 75 percent of those subscribers are paying for something they don't actually need.
Many of AOL's subscribers are older people who don't realize that they do not need to pay an extra $25 a month for AOL's usually redundant dial-up service. They are not aware that they don't need to subscribe to AOL to get online.
