As had been speculated, Time Warner today announced that it would be making many of AOL's services free of charge for broadband users. "We've listened to our customers, and many of them want to keep using these AOL products when they migrate to broadband - but not pay extra for them," says the company. The reality is that AOL is migrating from ISP to ad-driven portal, and cannot afford to charge for services Yahoo and Google are giving away for free. If you're on AOL's BYOA plan, you should be able to call them today and have all charges lifted.

What this means, in reality, I couldn't tell you ... since AOL has been nothing but joke fodder for me and most savy internet users I have ever met
