Vendit,
Interesting article, mostly conjecture as usual with Kevin Prigel's stuff, but interesting nonetheless. He suggests it's not free AOL but flatrate AOL. If he had included numbers--how much AOL plans to charge as a flat rate in Europe (the same $16.50/mo they charge in Britain?) and how much the local telcos kickback per minute--we could figure out if this strategy would work. From AOL's point of view, it is obviously better to use a flat rate strategy and hold people on line for ecommerce purposes rather than have people constantly thinking about the ticking meter.
Best,
--Steve
