All of AOL chat, email and stuff is going to be free now that everyone is cancelling their AOL. They're still charging for dialup, but they're making the rest public to try and increase ad revenue I guess.

Discuss.

So are the peasants now able to create their own AOL e-mail accounts? yes?

What about the AOL browsers? Are they putting them out for free?

Either way I'll think I'll pass on the freebies.

I guess they're trying to make their site more able to compete with like yahoo, google, etc.

On a tangent - I wonder if there's a chance that one day the internet would be completely free anywhere in the world?

Ahh right I see.
That's very clever of them, I'm not sure how it will attract people - A lot of people I know who use AOL don't like it and the others are a little cautious about using it.

I'm one of the cautious.

I like the sound of that.

Seriously though, I think it may well be in the far future.
