Would it serve them financially to take such a step? IMO, they gain much more revenue displaying ads for such a massive number of users. I don't think a small subset of paid users can ever generate that amount of revenue for them. Yeah the costs too would reduce in the latter case balancing with the reduced income. But, wouldn't google go for a bigger userbase when they can quite easily manage it. -- I think we dream so we don't have to be apart so long.
