Have you heard?

Wow, i was watching the news tonight. (btw, don't know if this is the right area), and it looks like Yahoo and AOL are planning on charging money to use email. They think of it as going to the post office. So you will pay so many cents to send a email. They said that they think this will cut down on spam, but personally, i rather have it "free" and deal with the spam, rather than have to pay for it. I'd like to know what people think about this.

mondine is an unknown quantity at this point
Yeah, there's a thread on this down in General Discussion:
http://www.googlecommunity.com/about9922.html

Myself, I think it's just going to be one of those 'trial' things, to see how long and loud people scream.
Which will be plenty.

If they go through with it Gmail might get flooded with new users. We might all see a slowdown in the ever increasing Email Space if that happened.
