I bought enough storage for a lifetime at a high street shop for £50. Assuming I live as long as most that's £1.20 a year. Add a bit of admin and inflation and let's call it £2 a year. If they can't make that and a decent profit in advertising there is something wrong. A 2000% margin is taking the ****. Forcing up their costs by collecting a direct payment must be more than the storage costs.
They should remember, this service is a convenience not something I need.
I can live with limits and adverts, but when it becomes intrusive I drop them and they make nothing. Its like when local phone calls are charged or premium rates are used, I find someone else with a different business model. Even the King of this, Apple is now starting to realise even its most addicted customers won't stand for £400 headphones etc.
