“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.” Anderson, Chris. "Why $0.00 is the Future of Business." Wired 16, no. 3 (2008): 143.
