Phoneline added to AOL

AOL is in the process of putting a phoneline on the internet so that it is as easy as clicking a button on the i/m box to physically talk to another person. This service will be free. People can make calls both close and long distance and also into 30 countries. I think that by doing this that AOL may be more profitable in the dating service area, so instead of getting to know somebody talking online by typing, it is just as easy to actually talk to them on the phone for free. I do not think that it will be used as much by teens because there is no need with a cell phone, however, if it is free, they may, just to cut back on cell phone costs. I think that in doing this, AOL may be going against cell phone companies because they are giving this service away for free...but there is no such thing as a free lunch, so what is the catch?
