Well, Gmail appears to have about 1.5 billion active users: https://www.cnbc.com/2019/10/26/gmail-dominates-consumer-email-with-1point5-billion-users.html https://www.cnbc.com/2019/10/26/gmail-dominates-consumer-ema...
2% of 1.5b is 30,000,000. I think Hey will be okay with only $2,970,000,000 per annum. :)
- vit05 6y agoThis is the potential market where all other paid email providers will compete. A reduced market. And yet, they chose Elon Musk's strategy. Create a premium product first to serve as a cash cow and financier, then perhaps offer other products with lower or even higher margins. But my point is, they offer a premium service and have the possibility to get around this problem by negotiating since the mistake was theirs in not interpreting apple rules correctly.
