Better e-mail standard for county already here |
|
When Paul McIntosh was the county administrator, he resisted the idea of making electronic records more accessible to the public. At every turn, his staff, presumably at his direction, made vague excuses about how it was technologically impractical to save all computer-generated communications, including e-mail, for inspection by the public, without compromising security and certain confidential records that are exempt from state law. ... »

AOL is humbled by e-mail directive |
|
America Online is the world's most successful Internet service provider — except, apparently, in its own house. In a humbling reversal, AOL Time Warner Inc. is retreating from a top-level directive that required the divisions of the old Time Warner to convert to an e-mail system based on AOL software and run by America Online's giant public server computers in Virginia. The drive to get all the company's 82,000 employees to use AOL e-mail was an attempt to give symbolic resonance to the marriage of AOL and Time Warner, the largest corporate merger in U.S. history and perhaps the most-scrutinized litmus test for the marriage of the old and new economies. ... »

Yahoo tacks fees onto e-mail, storage |
|
Yahoo said Thursday that it will soon implement new fees in once-free areas on its service, marking the Web portal's latest effort to boost non-advertising revenue. The company said it will begin charging for a feature that lets people check their Yahoo e-mail messages from outside services. In addition, the company will limit public access to its data storage service in hopes of persuading people to pay for it.

Utah governor sued for deleting e-mail |
|
SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Four news organizations have sued Gov. Mike Leavitt, contending he is illegally destroying his e-mail. Leavitt's deletion of electronic documents amounts to destroying public records, the lawsuit filed Tuesday contends. The governor is "depriving the public of its constitutional right of access to information concerning the conduct of the public's business," The Salt Lake Tribune, Salt Lake City Weekly and television stations KUTV and KTVX said. Leavitt spokeswoman Natalie Gochnour said the governor had not had time to review the lawsuit, but, "We believe we are abiding by the law. We basically view e-mail much like a conversation." ... »
