Time-Warner's Being Smart Not Greedy (markevanstech.com)

If by Time-Warner being smart you mean making another play at the ISP game after AOL is shifting entirely away from being an ISP to being a content provider...

I am not exactly sure this makes any sense to me. AOL's revenue from the ISP business was dropping rapidly enough a few years ago for them to entire shift their business to online content resulting in huge short-term losses in hopes of better long term gains. Now for TW to shift into a tiered internet that I don't see a market for does not seem like a smart move to me.
