Paying for Gmail Beta

Google has lifted the invitation-only restriction on Gmail but it is still in Beta mode. The latest feature would be a additional storage space for heavy user for a small sum of fees per year, which makes me wonder who needs a 2GB ++ storage space for emails? I have no idea, anyone kind enough to enlighten me with some facts on why do we need email storage more than 1GB? Let alone 2GB?

Now that Google has more computing muscle, (Google co-founder Sergey) Brin said the company will start selling additional storage capacity to e-mail users with extraordinary needs. Google still hasn’t figured out the specifics, but Brin indicated the e-mail storage and fees to be introduced later this year would be similar to Google’s photo-hosting service that charges $25 annually for 6.25 gigabytes and $500 annually for 250 gigabytes. - AP Press

    Like you i dont understand why someone need to have 2GB on space for their emails, it is not like you can mail people the complete DVD serie of friends.
