AOL Latin America cuts IPO price
Article Abstract:
AOL Latin America was forced to reduce its IPO share price from $15 to $17 to $8 to $10 after encountering problems in its Latin American activities. Its AOL Brazil affiliate has yet to start operations even after the company formed an alliance with a local Brazilian bank, whose seven million customers are potential AOL users. Its AOL Mexico subsidiary also faces similar problems after entering the market late, with Telefonos de Mexico, Terra Networks and Star Media dominating the market.
