You don't even have a PS3 veio :)
On monthly fees, MMO games usually, but capable dedicated servers are dirt cheap nowadays and it's feasible to hold deidcated servers, have free online with an ever growing community and make money off DLC. Sony's own Warhawk (not MMO, I know) has grown from 300k to over 700k now. I'd also believe that they have made money on it otherwise they wouldn't release 3 maps.
Also Sony has a lot of MMOs coming out for the PS3 over the next couple of years, they cannot expect people to pay 6-10 a month for each game, it just ain't gonna happen, so I believe they'll either
A) Charge a flat monthly fee and you can play all the MMOs you want or
B) Keep it free and charge for DLC and expansions.
Ideally they'll go with option B as people have shown willingness to buy DLC and expansions.
