A little different I think - what they proved in Freakonomics was the late fee let people feel that they were off the hook and were 'buying' something.
For rational people, the ATM fees are a cost to be avoided and their behavior should reflect that. An absence of late fees will cause people to use more of the ATMs that are not from their bank.
We could conduct a study, but I am busy with my day job.
