Gmail: now at 2 GB

Gmail: Help Center: "G is for growth
Storage is an important part of email, but that doesn't mean you should have to worry about it. To celebrate our one-year birthday, we're giving everyone one more gigabyte. But why stop the party there? Our plan is to continue growing your storage beyond 2GBs by giving you more space as we are able. We know that email will only become more important in people's lives, and we want Gmail to keep up with our users and their needs. From Gmail, you can expect more."

Here is the Premium mail services offer from Yahoo.
- 2GB of mail storage
- mail forwarding
- POP Access
- No Graphical Ads ;o)
All these great features at only $19.99/year


This is what I had noted earlier, the Free services will become 'good enough' so that charging for premium services will become redundant Business model
