Remember when you needed to pay for email storage? Competition drove that price to zero as companies used it as a loss leader for other revenue streams (eg, advertising).
I suspect a similar outcome. The question is when, of course.
- SoftwareMaven 14y agoUnlimited email isn't free. Since limited amounts of synchronized storage is free, I'd say we are there today. It's a quantitative difference, not a qualitative one.
- Derbasti 14y agoEmail is free if you like to be targeted by ads and want to contribute to advertisement research. Also, next to no customer service and no choice regarding you contract. Which is still a great bargain. But not one I choose.
