EDIT: Hm, so from the FAQ, it seems like Subscribed players who don't renew get converted to "Preferred" accounts, which seems to be F2P "Limited Access" with some additional benefits:

The ability to run faster (Sprint) starting at Level 1.
Cargo Hold access (Bank Slots) and higher login queue priority.
Increased access to Chat and Secure Trading.
Post more items for sale on the in-game Galactic Trade Network.

This is correct. If you do not keep up your subscription, you be converted to Preferred status. Anyone that comes back and previously has been a subscriber will be placed on Preferred status. Also anyone time you spend at least $5 to the Cartel Market will net you Preferred status.
