"Life after People" describes this exact scenario over 20 episodes.

From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Life_After_People: Life After People is a television series on which scientists, structural engineers, and other experts speculate about what might become of Earth should humanity instantly disappear. The featured experts also talk about the impact of human absence on the environment and the vestiges of civilization thus left behind.

In mid 2013 I signed up 22 referred accounts in a VM box for a family member with a newly created Dropbox account. Three months later all 22 inactive accounts were removed, and the extra storage was gone too.

I did it in 2011 as well for my own account and still have the extra storage. I've since upgraded though. Even 15GB is peanuts today...

Too late?

That depends on the size of operational overhead and opportunity of income.

If it's set it and forget it('ish), why not reap a few years income from a market that'll sell around 500M feature phones this year?

Step 1: Validate your idea. Ask people if they would use it.

Seriously.
