Time Warner's AOL may offer all of its services, such as email, for no charge to those with high-speed internet access, including from other service providers - gambling that the resulting additional advertising revenue would make up for the loss of potentially up to $2 billion in subscription revenue, writes Reuters, citing a Wall Street Journal article.

AOL apparently expects 8 million of its own dialup customers to cancel their subscription to take advantage of the new offer. AOL CEO Jonathan Miller reportedly presented the proposal to top Time Warner executives in New York last week.
