America Online Inc, now being snowed under with lawsuits from the members from hell complaining that they can’t get onto its network and demanding blood, says it will spend even more than planned to bolster its network. It will now spend $350m to upgrade its network, instead of the $250m previously planned, to add new modems and build a 180,000 square foot data center. In December, its usage soared to more than 100 million hours, up from 60 million hours in November; it now claims more than 8 million subscribers worldwide.
