I don't know. I agree with Google on this one. There should be more people paying for this awesome service.

And to be honest, 50 accounts is still a lot. Having 50 or so employees in a company is a fairly large company, companies with that many people can fork up $50/user/year

The question isn't really "can they" but "will they"? A lot of big companies have very cheap office deals.

The only reason Google's competitors have not been charging for these kind of services is because Google hasn't been. I imagine many competitors want Google to make this move as then it allows then to do the same and start building some much needed revenue.
