As we reported yesterday...."As of Friday, MSN Messenger users have been able to make free, long-distance calls in the United States or Canada for only 5 minutes before the calls are disconnected. People can immediately log back on and make another free, 5 minute call or go to Net2Phone's Web site to make free calls."
The move to curtail free Net phone service comes as online companies are pulling back on giveaways hatched at the height on the dot-com frenzy, when growth was considered more important than profits. That strategy has since been turned on its head, with companies across the board dropping costly enticements.
