Unless I'm very much mistaken, I don't think the outsourcing of call centers back in the hey-days of AOL was that prevalent.
That said, AOL isn't the first company to bank on sending out free stuff to get a lot of customers. I believe Schick gave out free disposable razors to nearly everyone in the States at a time when there were no disposable ones. After exhausting their seed money on sending those out once, they raised a lot of money for now customers were flocking out to buy one.
- ck2 16y agoSorry, I mean how they moved all the jobs from the states overseas in recent history. In the "hey-day" of AOL they were all around the country and a very big employer. But they ran their ship into the ground, by being stupid and greedy IMHO.
