Google goes offline for plebs, billionaires go mask off and start discussing population control via drones.
What do you mean by the first part?
I think they mean all Google docs gone unless we buy a $1,000.00 per month subscription, or something.
We see that kind of massive price shift in business to business contracts all the time.
Someone is bound to try it on regular consumers, and Google currently has the most leverage.
In fairness to Google, they actually have better data export tools than most of their competitors... At least today.
That said, not my prediction, I don't think it'll happen in ten years. I do think someone will try it. My money was on Evernote, but I think their best opportunity passed already.
$1000/month? Really?
Google Docs (and their online office programs) aren't even the only valid option anymore. I mean even Office is only $6/month if you only want the web version, or $12.50/month if you want desktop apps.
$1000/month? Really?
Some exaggeration may have occurred.
But yes, 10x increases from previous business to business prices have been common lately. I'm just waiting to see which direct to consumer service tried it first.
