I wondering how much of this is comprised of auto-renewed subscriptions that people don't even realize they're paying for.

Or people who have broadband, but keep paying for AOL's dialup service because they don't realize they think they need to in order to keep their AOL email and instant messaging accounts.

That said, I'd like to have a closer look at the numbers before jumping to any conclusions. Nowadays the situation might be complicated a bit by the fact that AOL bundles "backup dial-up" service in with their packages of paid services that are primarily intended for broadband users.
