    The article mentioned Though the mobile content open a new revenue source, both Google and Yahoo! offer the service for free, but they admitted that they might commercialize the service once it get popular.

    I guess it's like pr0n, first they offer you "free tours", next thing you know they're charging for everything and you're still paying for it because you're already addicted.

    Will this also be an indication that other services like GMail, might be commercialized (other that the Ads) once everybody owns a gmail account, keeps 500MB of emails there and have no option (to download/archive) but to pay for the service?
