AOl to Add Free Phone to Instant Messaging Feature
AOL wants to add a free phone line to its instant messaging service that will allow users to call other users from computer to computer for free. What will be charged though is the calls that are from computer to telephone or telephone to computer. These charges could be the hidden source of income for the company that the free telephone line provides. AOL hopes to also add flexibility to its webpages by allowing users to design them personally, much more like MySpace.

I think it will be interesting to see how AOL markets this new service. If they try to cover the fees for computer based calls to telephones or the other way around it would be a pretty sneaky way of making another buck. AOL used to be huge and they have kinda been lagging behind in the tech industry, it's about time for a big product release from them to maintain their position in the highly competitive and quickly changing industry.
