The cost of bandwidth and storage is dropping at a faster rate than inflation. Besides, I'd say 90%+ of the blogs on a service like this would be mostly text and low traffic, and $5/month can cover that today several times over. That said, I'm not sure I'd trust another blogging service by the people that created Posterous. They already had a chance to demonstrate that they would keep the service running for the long haul and they didn't. I'd suggest people take their $5/month and spend it on Wordpress.com.
