which route to go when charging for internet service?

[ryanpal]

i'm wondering what a better route to take is. i have a web site which is going to provide a particular service. i want to know if it would be better to:

1. provide the service free for X weeks/months and then begin to charge a small fee after a certain number of users have become dependent on the service.

or

2.provide limited service for free and provide the bells and whistles (extra features) for a fee.


#1 seems like a great route with the exception of possibly making people mad. although this seems similar to the route that phone/cable companies take when people have their service and then up their price.
