Unlimited Yahoo email storage
p2pnet.net news:- Yahoo says it’ll offer unlimited email storage starting in May. It’s currently limited to 1 gig.
“Officials said the decision to remove e-mail storage limits reflects the plunging cost of storage as new personal computers store up to a trillion bytes of data and owners of 80-gigabyte iPods can carry 100 hours of video in their pockets,” says Reuters.
But, “One caveat Yahoo makes is that the offer is for personal use and subject to guidelines against abuse that apply to Yahoo Mail,” says the story. “No one can build a business giving away unlimited storage to other consumers using Yahoo Mail, executives said.”
It’s also excluding China and Japan.
“We will continue working with these markets on their storage plans,” it has the company’s John Kremer saying. Y
Yahoo is a minority owner with partner Softbank in Yahoo Japan and a part owner with Alibaba of the Yahoo business in China, adds Reuters.
