If it continues to provide the service but charges and then most of the punters spit the dummy and don't sign up for the service - it still incurs the costs of providing the service, it doesn't bring in much revenue from it and it suffers the intangible (but real in terms of future revenue) cost of loss of customer loyalty. It doesn't sound like good business to me!
