I'm thinking if there were fees to be charged in January, wouldn't we have been given a notice by now? ???
Logically, yes? Have you read the T&C to see if a notice period is required? Nothing in there. So they could easily give 2 weeks notice, or even 1 week notice. If they felt more notice was needed, they wouldn't wait until Dec 13th last year to say it would still be free. ;)

I guess we will have to sit tight then.

I'm going to hazard a guess that GV will remain free for 2013. There just seem to be too many things GV does not offer that others do offer for short money. Eg. CNAM, no porting in some area codes (like 603), no numbers available in some areas, no e911, etc. Right now, I use GV for outgoing calls and Anveo (at $2.80 per month including 911) for unlimited incoming calls and they ported my previous telco number for free. I can use Anveo for outbound at .01 per minute if I choose.
As others have mentioned, GV is not important to Google and the service has some catching up to do if they were to compete in the paid-service space. Just my opinion and it's worth exactly what you paid ;D

Hi Everybody,
Please see the below-linked Google "Official Blog" article that mentions adding telephone users to hangouts.
Dial-in friends and family, from all over the world
Not everyone has a webcam or a front-facing mobile camera, but that shouldn’t stop them from spending time with the people they’re close to. Fortunately, nearly everyone has a telephone, and today we’re making it possible to dial-in anyone, from almost any country, directly into your hangout. Calls to the U.S. and Canada are free, and international calling rates are super, super low.

... now discuss! :-)
From your friends at Obihai, we hope everyone has a happy and safe holiday season.

I've been checking the google voice blog almost every day (sometimes a few times a day) for about a week or 2. I also check the official GV forum at the same time. So far I keep seeing no announcements and it's already the 17th. I've very much enjoyed my OBi and my GV account for well over a year. A nice holiday gift would be another year of free phone service. lol
