This rumor has been around since I first got XBOX live (about 2-3 years ago) and it has never happened. I really doubt that it will happen. Think about it, if XBOX Live became free, then it would be like PSN which suffers from horrible connection problems and an overall worse experience. This is because Microsoft would be losing money if it attempted to host all of the game servers like it does now, so they would just stop doing it. That means that just like with the PSN, game developers would have to make their own servers for people to play on, which often results in more laggy games.
