It depends. If AOL starts making the defaults for the Netscape browser point to AOL services, boards, ads, etc. Then ISPs probably won't be inclined to support the Netscape browser. Having the Netscape browser gives AOL the ability to direct "eyes" to content of their choice. It's a powerful marketing/sales tool and one that may be too hard for AOL to resist.
