“For years, webmail users had to pay for extra storage. Then, as storage prices continued to fall, Google went

after new customers by offering 1 gigabyte free to every user. Yahoo responded by last year with the

ultimate offer: infinite free storage. Since each page of webmail comes with ads, more users means more

revenue.”
