» Google to provide email hosting? Between the Lines ZDNet.com
Some interesting thoughts by David Berlind about the possibilities presented by Google's offering to host Gmail services to businesses and institutions under that entity's own domain name. With the merge of chat and GoogleTalk with Gmail for individual accounts, Google obviously has something cooking for this email hosting service.
But we should always remember that Google's strategy is to keep its competitors constantly guessing about it's strategy by offering free services, yet always relying on the advertising business model for its revenue stream. How Google will monetize some of its now free services/tools is anybody's guess. Given their resources, they so far have been successful in releasing many new tools and applications without divulging a future business model.
