For now. Once mining becomes slow enough (and it has to slow down over time), exchanges will have to charge transaction fees to make the "proof of work" worth their while.

You don't need to use an exchange to make a payment, though.

Its actually the miners who will be getting the transaction fees once the supply of bitcoins stops growing.
