"Free" Internet Service Offers- are they really free?

http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/conline/pubs/alerts/freeispalrt.shtm

The Federal Trade Comission is trying t let us know that providers are being tricky with the free internet services. Providers give certain trials for a couple months, then they tell you that its free for a certain time period. But what we dont know is that they are really tricking us. At the end of the months they try to automatically sign you up. If we decide we dont want the trial they list a number thats long distance which makes us have to pay. The article provides some questions you can ask providers specifically so you are not being fooled.
