AOL Goes Free

This is one of those things that was destined to happen and finally AOL has picked up on what most of us have been saying for years - nobody (or very few people) is going to pay for AOL over their broadband connection. Starting in September AOL will be free, except for the actual dial-up account. So, if you have another ISP, but also an AOL account for the email then you can stop paying for AOL. They are hoping to replace the revenue by advertising, which seems far fetched to me but they've got experts that say it'll work. I guess we'll have to see.
