<<The airline industry did this on Friday.>> Right... the "industry " did it. Much harder to do, when you are one company and everyone else is offering this service for free. <<You can't sue someone because they decide to charge for a service that used to be free. Using that logic, SI opened itself up to lawsuits when it decided to charge membership fees.>> SI doesn't charge me. When I joined it was a free service. They only charge for new members. AOL has had a host of legal problems in this area, even though it says all over it's "terms of service" that "they have the right to change etc". Anyway, since you believe that is Yahoo's plan, to turn money losing GeoCities into a winner by charging, how will you feel if they say "they have no plans on charging"?
