CEO Chris Beard revealed in an interview with CNET that Mozilla may start offering "freemium" services in the near future:
There's another side as we start to look at products that we could potentially offer. Some of them start to look like services, exploring the freemium models. There'd be a free level always, but also some premium services offering.
That Yahoo! money has to run out at some point.
