I think it's like some of the web space 'resellers' - they oversell 
space.. They count on the fact that not everyone will use the full 
allocation of space.

For example, Brand X Host may give a quota of 100mb to each of it's 10 
users, and yet only have 700mb of actual physical space to be filled.

I feel the large storage amounts thrown around by Google and Yahoo are 
extra-ordinary in every sense of the word, because only a mere handful 
of users would ever go as far as to fill 1gb or even 250mb of space on 
the web with an email account - and if/when the majority do start 
pushing the limits, its simple to add more storage space when required.
