>> Even Msft cannot offer free service forever

Perhaps they can, under a different business model. CBS, NBC, and ABC have managed to make money while offering free service on a long term basis to their audiences.

MSFT can definitely operate a free ISP profitably

- Think about it. If you can offer ISP connections for say $100 mill/year. And get $500 mill/year in ad dollars, isn't that worth it?
