Privacy isn't just about "privacy" as you see it - its about accountability, protection of data, controls, access, restrictions and knowledge. As far as i can tell there is no auditing, tracking, labeling, management of emails. Users could email away corporate documents and no one would know. That is standard functionality in exchange that you so easily discredit. Email isn't "pop" or "imap" its a way to communicate and businesses need "laws" around that. Generalizing everything doesn't solve the debate either. There are businesses that don't care and would be more than happy to use "google office", but don't think for a second one would trade in an exchange environment for something that offers them less features. Not to mention google is notoriously terrible at "human" support - everything is handled by automation. Email is a "personal" experience and if my clients have problems with email they get a real person talk to. Google is saying they will have a real support staff but i just don't buy it being a google customer on adwords for years and that "live support staff" that won't bother unless your spending 200k a year. What happens when someone deletes an email? will google recover it? is there an admin interface over the entire email store so IT can manage accoutns, view messages, set up rules, policies, forwarders and such? A perfect example of privacy is if someone gets terminated, forwards off a bunch of proprietary business info, deletes all there emails and logs off - what is googles stance on that? My "outsourced email provider" for damn sure would be responsible/liable but google doesn't have to operate like that because according to you "google does no harm". Visibility, accountability, control, restrictions, process, IT management, IT Governance and policy. None of which google affords you are all critical components that exchange, notes and other business messaging systems offer. POP3/IMAP is not "business" email my friend.Aside from your obvious hatred of anything that isn’t google you are terribly wrong in your accusations and understandings of the services and how businesses use email.

I've used T-Mobile's GPRS/EDGE service around town and had no problem getting decent service. The problem with T-Mobile's network was latency...you would type in the URL and it would take a few seconds for it to resolve and connect to the site. Once it connected, the speed was ok, definitely ok enough for browsing. Maybe the other carriers have better service. Now only if Hartsfield would provide free Internet access.Most of the cell phone Internet plans have pretty good coverage in Atlanta.

I've taken to using my HSDPA cell phone to get internet access when I'm on the move and out of a Fastpass area. Even that isn't full proof, but at least the HSDPA network covers Atlanta and the northern burbs around my office well.I agree… it is a super pain… I’ve taken to using my HSDPA cell phone to get internet access when I’m on the move and out of a Fastpass area.

But stores seem to get their service from too many different services. Most Starbucks have T-Mobile HotSpot, Borders gets theirs from AT&T, etc, etc. It would be great to sign up with one company and get service everywhere.I’ve actually used Fastpass a few times and found it a good service.

They provide the on-campus wireless for Georgia Tech and I believe GSU. They also service many business and homes in Midtown (including mine). I haven't had a whole lot of luck finding access outdoors outside of Georgia Tech though....Also… if you happen to be in Midtown, PurDigital (aka Biltmore Communications) has a wireless system called Fastpass in the area.
