AOL is trying to enter the free webmail market
Tags :Announcement
Reading along on
the web, AOL has a beta in progress
for subscribers only (which kind of negates the idea of free webmail if
you are paying for service already) to have a rich text type free email
service for anyone on the Internet. I can of course seeing AOL IM
integrated tightly into this, but then again to use the Netscape mail you
already have an AOL account. AOL will come out of the gates with
100MB of space, which is below the Netscape account and way below Gmail
of course.
So where is the benefit in AOL doing this?
Even though they have lost over 4 million subscribers in the last
two years. Does this get them more subscribers by offering enhanced
services over the free one once you try it out?
