Our household shares one mobile phone between two adults. How does that fit into the 84% baseline?
As far as services, I checked GMail and other. I use VPS to host my web apps, so I pay for that. I pay for the ACM digital library, as I see a lot of value in that.
I would pay for online storage (eg Amazon S3). I use GMail. The spam filtering is great. I might use the paid Google Apps for domain email hosting, but would like a cost effective and time efficient (low administration effort) MTA which I can use for multiple domains.
My biggest concern with relying on some 3rd party for essential web apps/services is 1) what happens if they go belly-up? 2) what happens if there is an irreconcilable policy change?
For VPS, I back up to home and can always recover and host on a new VPS, just some time lost. If an essential service goes south, I've lost information and/or functionality.
So aside from fungible infrastructure, I've not yet seen anything compelling enough to make me pay up every month since I stopped playing everquest several years ago.
one of my primary questions for a service is "how much effort to sync with my home network or to mirror to another service?"
