What happens when they start to charge, or do they plan on being free forever?

We know your agenda Bruce so what's the point of these recurring posts stating AOL is losing market share to ISP's in the UK who do not charge monthly fees. How about posting a disclaimer that they do have to pay a toll charge every time they connect to the ISP? Steve

Bruce, This board has already had the free Internet provider discussion a few months back but to bring you up to speed, AOL could give their service away if need be but in the USA most of the free service providers have gone belly up. People want content and so they pay AOL for what they offer in that regard. Also remember that AOL receives major revenues from e-commerce as well as banner ad dollars and I think you will also see enhanced services offered very soon such as wireless connections. Vendit
