DEBORAH MARCHINI, CNN ANCHOR: AOL and Time Warner have offered new concessions to European Commission, hoping it will approve their merger.</s>DAVID HAFFENREFFER, CNN ANCHOR: Hoping. The deal would not be the first two combine content and distribution under one roof. Janet Guyon, of "Fortune" magazine, joins us now from London. And Janet, are these concessions enough to make the deal go through?</s>JANET GUYON, LONDON BUREAU CHIEF, "FORTUNE MAGAZINE": They may be -- excuse me, they may be, David, it's really a little difficult to say right now. But, quite frankly, I do think this deal will go through. The companies have been talking and working with the commission quite closely, trying to get some solution to this problem. And when I talked to the commission this morning, they said to me that we really don't want to block the merger, the aim of the European Commission is to reach an agreement. Now they were speaking generically, but certainly those are pretty conciliatory statements. So I would guess that probably this deal will go through with some concessions.</s>MARCHINI: Any idea what the companies will have to give up?</s>GUYON: Well, they'll probably have to give up -- they'll probably have to allow other competitors access to AOL lines, as well as access to Time Warner content, and other distribution medium. And it is in Time Warner and AOL's interest to do this, of course. I mean, why wouldn't you want to sell your music to as many subscribers as possible, whether or not they were an AOL subscriber or a Time Warner cable subscriber anyway. So I do think those will be the concessions, really allowing competitors' access to the content that Time Warner brings to this deal.</s>MARCHINI: All right, thanks a lot, Janet Guyon, "Fortune" magazine.
