We don't have the option of paying Google yet, but I think most of us plan to become paying customers later.
What's worrying to me is not the quota system per se, which makes sense for a free service, but the way people are reporting that they seem to be exceeding quota far more rapidly than appears justified by their usage. This seems to imply a potential of unexpectedly high charges, once we become paying customers.
