I see the point, ISPs should provide internet connectivity and leave things like email and news hosting to the experts, it's why I like the Be/O2 model of charging as little as possible and provide internet access only.

Agreed.
Whilst disk and hardware prices have gone down considerably in the last few years, trying to give 3 million customers 6GB each (18,000 Terabytes of disk, not including any mirroring or duplication for backup), would be a little (actually a lot) expensive.
Leave it to the experts, like Google or MS (imho). We just outsourced our Student email to Google (no adverts as part of the deal), as the cost and complexity of giving 30,000 students 6GB each was not a step I, or the University, were willing to take (we could spend the money on more beneficial things for the students).
