Dialup will be around only until nationwide wireless broadband access is available and cheaper than dialup which will have to happen sooner or later, hopefully within 5 years.
There is a even a growing movement, much to the ISPs disgust, to make Internet access free for all like the Freenets of the old days. I believe Philly is going to try this fairly soon with a citywide free WAN.
Also to the people that are keeping AOL for travelling and stay in cities rather than remote areas, try
Boingo instead.
