Looks like there is a new ARISE television project afoot. From the sounds of it A.A.A. will be a "remix" of the current ARISE borders and some new episodes as well...meant to be aired on television. http://kokaku-a.jp/tv/index.html

"The Ghost in the Shell Arise anime series will air on Japanese television under the title Ghost in the Shell Arise - Alternative Architecture, starting in April. The broadcast will recompile the four existing episodes and include two new episodes, to tie the series with the new Ghost in the Shell movie premiering this summer."
I really don't want to start out as negative so I'm going to use a term that those who work in an office might be familiar with. It's called a sh*t sandwich, a way of giving feedback by cushioning either side with positives.
Yay, we're getting more GITS content
Does seem like they didn't really think it through to begin with to now be recompiling, why didn't they just do a proper series to begin with or plan ahead to tie in with the movie...
What I find interesting...with the recombination of ARISE plus added material is that it looks like that AAA will be divvied into 10 episodes. I'm only saying this because on the official site, it looks like there are 10 tags on the margin for future episodes with #1 labeled as Ghost Stand Alone, with the other tags #2-#10 not activated with content yet:
I did wonder when it said about making it a tv series whether they would split each border into two and create separate episodes. Lucky I hadn't brought the ARISE blue rays yet given there will likely be a 10 episode series to buy at some point.
Tag #2 on http://kokaku-a.jp/tv/story.html page now has been labelled as Ghost Stands Alone, same as #1, fitting the theory that each of the original 4 ARISE borders + 2 new episodes (one just named Pyrophoric Cult) will be stretched into 10 shorter length episodes probably to fill a half hour block as well as commercial/advert breaks.
