Another example is "Microsoft, gave its Windows software development kit (SDK) away for free to encourage development of new applications for its operating systems.  The larger number of applications attracts more users to the Windows platform and increased Microsoft's revenues.

p80-p81- This section is worth reading about the Google's Business Model.  "The heart of Google's business model is its Value Proposition of providing extremely targeted text advertising... ( I have to resume this later tonight)
