I don't think it needs to be. When they purchase Netcenter, they are buying the audience. If there was a way to transition that audience easily to AOL's portal, they probably would. As it is, that audience, generally business people during the workday, are a very valuable audience in terms of possible ecommerce futures. They will maintain Netcenter to keep that.

How different are any of the the portals now?
