Australia is now seeing companies that provide free email for clients now dropping that product. Their email address will now be transferred to a company that charges for the service.
Telstra is now charging for email.
Google is going to start trimming and dropping old email accounts.
That's fair enough. The hardware and energy required to provide email is not getting any cheaper. (Unlike the good old days of falling hardware costs)
Most email is worthless junk that people can't be arsed cleaning up. Or has all these attachments that are a huge waste of space.
It used to be that email providers were collecting customers to act as a future source of revenue. Well, the future may have arrived.
So I guess it's one more cost the consumer will beat directly.
