I would imagine that sponsors will continue to experiment with free trials as long as people are willing to promote them.
There's a lack of trust among the masses when it comes to programs and their use of the "free" model as a means to boost traffic. With the word "free" many automatically assume that means shaving, leeching, cross sells, shady upsells and every other dirty trick in the book.
Some of us have been baited by such programs only to be negatively biased by our experiences.
I think we'll continue to see more and more programs using limited trials in place of free lor even low priced trials as a general trend.
