Bob Pittman still plays the part of the Internet evangelizer, liberally sprinkling the word revolution into his speeches. Today, for instance, delivering the keynote lecture at Internet World 2001 in Manhattan, the newly appointed COO of AOL Time Warner (NYSE: AOL), talked about the future of the networked home and how AOL's current consumer relationship could accommodate it. Yet he wasn't so forthcoming about his thoughts on the recently announced retirement of Gerald Levin from the CEO position.

Robert Pittman, co-chief operating officer of AOL Time Warner, on Tuesday highlighted broadband Web access and home networking as the next phase in the Internet's penetration into households. In a keynote speech delivered during the Internet World and Streaming Media East conventions here, Pittman offered a picture of wired households firmly linked to the company through the interactivity of its America Online division and the media and entertainment assets of its Time Warner unit. That idea begins with broadband, or high-speed Internet connections, delivered through AOL Time Warner's cable system.
