Now Listening: 古巨基 - 路边摊....

was at Yahoo Mail login page. Den i saw this.. Yahoo's going to offer 1GB of Mailspace for its users for free.. omg.. Is this part of the Web-Based Email service battle? Will the service providers end up bleeding profusely? I tink it's too good to be true.. on the long run.

Wad do u gather from this notice? Just another DotCom fight between 2 established companies?? Is webspace really tat cheap, until people get the quality they used to pay for it for free now? Of cos, people can say that it's the technology that now permits this luxury today. But, when the DotCom bubble is growing rapidier than wat the technology can advance, is this healthy? Is this healthy to the whole WWW, and the followers of the whole WWW network? Who will absorb the losses? What kind of losses are we going to incur? Are we going to get another bursting of the bubble?

I draw the analogy of natural resources to illustrate the picture. Centuries ago, people discovered the use of coal, rubber, tin, blah blah.. And, with the "supposed" abundance of them, people just expend them like nobody's business. And of cos, wastage became "inevitable". It was only until someone, someday, somehow, somewhat influential to sound the alarm then people start to think of ways to rectify the situation. Will this happen to the cyberspace also? In addition, toking about space. Just look at the cost of a "parking space" in the space orbit. Will there be a day, where our waters are so packed with fibre optics, that the $ to lay a stretch of fibre optics boom by thousands of times? Who will pay for the then-cheaply-available bandwidth and webspace?

Maybe it's just that I dunno how the $ flows in the cyberspace. Maybe it's just that I'm living in the yesteryear. Maybe I'm not tat comfortable with the too-much-options-society I'm living in. Maybe.. maybe.. er.. do u understand what I'm trying to say?

Or, maybe I'm too free to think of such things?
