Dropbox +250 megs Signup

Use this link to sign up for Dropbox and you'll get an additional 250 megs (on top of the 2 gigs everyone receives). In fact, we both will. -->  Dropbox referral signup  <-- I love Dropbox, I use it on three platforms; it allows me to keep data sync'd from Windows to Mac to Linux.  I can also access my files from my iPhone or even through the web interface.

How is this possible? I'm sure this is NOT what we had in mind when the digital changeover was legislated. We can do better. And no, I don't consider cable and satellite companies as better; I should not have to shell out $1,000/year for internet and broadcast television stations.
