The Washington Posts reports that Yahoo! has attempted to answer the gmail threat. Instead of the 4mb (twice the generosity of hotmail) currently offered, they will up the storage space to 100mb. People who pay for space (oh my, do people do this?), will be given "virtually unlimited space."
100mb is certainly not a gigabyte, but my guess is that some people are attached to their current email name enough that they will not want to change. However, there are still enough people out there who want a taste of gmail, that I doubt Google will have to do anything in retaliation.
