Google announced tonight that it will up its Gmail limit to 2 GB, and that it plans to increase the limit to...the sky. Really. [...] (I did ask them about the abuse of this feature - and they told me they'd get back to me....).
Not to beat a tired horse, but why do this? Mail = pageviews. Pageviews = profits. Rinse. Repeat.

Wow, the ultimate file sharing tool. With one click send a 1.4GB movie to 20 friends. The upstream bandwidth limit of ADSL is no longer an issue as all exchanges are made between endpoint within the core of the network. Use a mailbox as a public folder to store the files you want to share (remember Yahoo! Briefcases?). Actually, there's already software for doing this...
I hope Google thought this through before making the announcement and have a good strategy to manage the predictable parasitic activity on the Gmail service.
