The question is, why would anyone want to use them even if it is free? Just to get the advertisement, may be.

media company, said it will give away its AOL service to high-
speed Internet users, sacrificing subscriber revenue in a bet
that online advertising will compensate for the loss.          </P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601087&sid=aIgcaH6YXG20&refer=home"><P> New York-based Time Warner today also reported second-
quarter net income of $1 billion, or 24 cents a share, as higher
cable-television sales made up for customer losses at AOL.          </P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601087&sid=aIgcaH6YXG20&refer=home"><P> The Internet unit will offer its AOL e-mail service and
media content free to users with broadband connections, an effort
by Chief Executive Officer Richard Parsons to restore sales
growth. Revenue at AOL, which has been a drag on Time Warner's
earnings for five years, fell 2.4 percent in the quarter as it
lost 976,000 subscribers. Online advertising rose 40 percent.          </P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/9A89D61E-AEC2-43D7-B090-28CA9B31C213/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
