الظاهر أن الشركات الكبرى في مجال تقديم الخدمات المجانية على الانترنت تنهار واحدة تلو الأخرى، فبالأمس تراجعت شركة F2S عن استضافة المواقع والمعروف أنها كانت تدعم الكثير من التقنيات وبدون إعلانات وبمساحة 20 ميغا بايت لموقعك واليوم كذلك تصلنا رسالة من الفيستو مفادها أن حساب الإيميل سيتم إلغاؤه في أقل من عشرة أيام !!! متجاهلين جميع الناس الذين يملكون بريد الكتروني على ذلك الموقع وأنا منهم :'(
وهذا هو نص الرسالة:
For the past 5 years, we’ve offered free email access services to our Visto.com and MyVisto subscribers. As the company has matured and industry opportunities have evolved, our business has grown and transitioned from a free Web mail offering to a wireless solution for corporate enterprises and workgroups. Because of this transition, we will close down the MyVisto service on December 21, 2001. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. To make the closure of the MyVisto service as smooth as possible for you, we recommend the following alternative email service providers: Free email services are available from Yahoo, Hotmail and Mail.com. In addition to the free services, we’ve also made special arrangements with GoToMyPC, a subscription- based remote access service. GoToMyPC lets you easily and securely access your PC from any Web browser – anywhere in the world. You can check your email plus get access to everything else on your computer, including files and programs. Setup takes only 2 minutes. Click here or copy and paste this link into your browser window to download now: https://www.gotomypc.com/s/visto. As a MyVisto subscriber, you will receive an exclusive unlimited- usage, 30-day FREE trial of GoToMyPC. You’ll also receive a 10 percent discount off the monthly service fee if you decide to sign up after your free trial period ends. The free trial offer expires on June 30, 2002. The Frequently Asked Questions link below contains complete instructions on how to transfer your information from your MyVisto account and provides answers to additional questions you may have. Please note that after December 21, 2001, you will no longer have access to your MyVisto account and your information will not be saved or backed up. As a valued customer of Visto, we’d like to offer you the opportunity to try Visto’s Enterprise or Workgroup Solutions for your business. Dundee Securities' frequently quoted wireless analysts recently described Visto's Enterprise product as comparable to RIM's Blackberry device in service quality but significantly less expensive for always-on email. If you are interested in learning more about these solutions or participating in a corporate pilot program, please contact our sales team at sales@corp.visto.com. Thank you for supporting Visto.com and MyVisto.
