Thank you.

Due to extra demands of premium email usage and the expected cost increase over time with more disk space we announce that we intend from January 1. 2006 to raise the standard price for Runbox accounts to USD 49.95 (in line with the current special extra storage promo priced at USD 49.95 per year. Effectively raising the price from today’s USD 29.95 per year.) In order to promise storage space at this level along with increased support levels Runbox will need to increase the price that has otherwise stayed the same since 2001.
Hans, Geir and Liz can correct me if I'm wrong but I think the biggest costs to Runbox is probably in the "increased support levels" and the "extra demands of premium email usage" (e.g. feature development). Which is what I've been saying in my posts. I think the actual cost of extra space is probably one of the lower costs but the most visible benefit to the users.

Rich
