I See your 1Gb and I raise you 1...
Yahoo! is about to announce that they wil lincrease the size limit of their (paid) email service to 2Gb in order to come to terms with the forthcoming (free) 1Gb mail from Gmail. Yahoo! will also increase the size of their free email service to 200Mb.
This is good news for all of us. It is a well known fact that healthy competition is the best way to achieve quality of service and this is just what is happening here with the email services.
Google will invest their marketing on trying to persuade people that Gmail is based on their 'Google serach technologies' and yahoo! will try and benefit from the inertia of users to change their email addresses to Gmail by offering them 'enough space' to play with. I am not a betting man, but in the short term I would put my money on the Google tactics.
