From the Associated Press
It’s official: America Online Inc. is now simply AOL, after Time Warner Inc.’s Internet unit renamed itself.
America Online Inc. acquired Time Warner in 2001, forming AOL Time Warner Inc. But as the Internet access business declined, the parent dropped AOL from its name and again became just Time Warner.
In changing its name from America Online to AOL, the unit also converted its legal structure from a corporation to a limited liability company.
