  @Grummz Companies need to get over the 20th century mentality that office work needs to always be on site. Problem is many large companies still have admins who use faxes, think the internet is still AOL & who think knowing anything about computers & the internet is, "for nerds"...

  I remember when I was young and my mother would take me to the mall. I would bring a small notepad and pencil, then sit in Walden Books and write down things I had to do where I was stuck when I couldn't afford the guide. And as far as Gamefaqs is concerned, I don't think I knew that existed till like 1998 or 1999. It's not like we had social media to talk about different websites, I had to search using AOL keywords.

  Beyond the usual senior leadership problems at AOL that doomed Mapquest, there was another: channel conflict. Mapquest had a LOB that was store locators. They would sell widgets to retailers and other businesses that they could put on their own sites. Split personalities like that are always tough. When one side is paying the bills (store locator) it's hard to ship the future.

  AOL and Time Warner didn’t just pay for what the two companies were worth in January 2000. They paid for what they believed the two companies could become together. The announced merger was valued at roughly $350B, with AOL shareholders expected to own about 55% of the combined company. The logic was easy to understand: combine AOL’s internet business with Time Warner’s media assets and create value neither could generate alone. But there was a financial problem hiding inside that logic. Future synergies are uncertain. The merger closed in January 2001. SEC disclosures later put the acquisition cost at approximately $147B. Then came the accounting reckoning. In 2002, the combined company reported a $98.7B net loss, including a $54.2B goodwill impairment. That $54.2B was non-cash. It did not mean the company suddenly paid out $54.2B in cash. It meant the value previously assigned to acquired goodwill could no longer be supported at the same level. That distinction matters. When you pay upfront for future synergies, you are effectively putting a price on value that still depends on execution. If the synergies arrive, the premium can make sense. If they don’t, shareholders can end up carrying the cost. The most expensive synergy is the one you pay for before you prove it exists.

  Data Centers have been around for a long time... The commercial internet & World Wide Web created demand for always-on servers & interconnection. Early internet exchange points such as MAE-East in Northern Virginia (Metropolitan Area Exchange–East), established in 1992, was the first non-governmental Internet Exchange Point (IXP) in the United States. It served as a physical meeting point where early commercial Internet service providers (ISPs) could interconnect & exchange traffic directly rather than routing everything through distant or government-controlled networks. This peering model reduced costs & latency & became a foundational piece of the commercial Internet. America Online’s presence in the region, plus cheap land near Dulles Airport, available fiber & proximity to Washington, D.C. & DARPA (which had funded ARPANET), made Loudoun County/Ashburn attractive. Equinix, founded in 1998, built one of the region’s first dedicated commercial data centers to serve AOL & others, pioneering the colocation model. Companies rented space, power, cooling & connectivity instead of building their own facilities. Similar “carrier hotels” & interconnection hubs emerged in cities such as New York & Los Angeles. The late-1990s dot-com boom accelerated construction of larger purpose-built facilities. The subsequent bust left unused space that later operators filled.
