...storage space, interface, and all else an e-mail account entails. To this end, a survey carried out by FAS IT last week polled undergraduates about the features they value most in an e-mail service. “We’re considering a lot of different options. Gmail is obviously very attractive, but it’s not the only thing out there,” said Noah S. Selsby, a client technology advisor for FAS IT. The popular Gmail service—offering a range of features including fast searching, integrated instant messaging...
...reaches 10,000 feet, three WiFi access points hidden in the cabin's ceiling are activated, so that most wireless devices with Flash browsers or Wi-Fi-enabled laptops can connect to Yahoo Messenger or Mail, which can also be used to send text messages to mobile phones.

When the company went public later that year, skeptics voiced similar concerns about the viability of an ad-supported model for its search engine. Google now trades at more than $600 a share and could earn $4 billion this year...
...control over their networks. In this so-called walled garden, when you sign up to use a carrier, you can use only the services they want you to use. Imagine if Seinfeld were available only on RCA televisions. Or if your broadband service let you use Hotmail but not Gmail. That's not far from the state of the mobile-phone system today. The carriers rule...
