Google Introduces Video For Business

Friday, September 5th, 2008

Google is obviously in launch mode. Actually, when wasn’t it in launch mode? Take a leaf out of Google’s book - it’s ALWAYS launching something. Anyway, apart from announcing Google Chrome on Monday, the company also launched Google Video for business.

Google Video for business is a customized video platform businesses can use for internal videos such as training videos, induction videos and other such videos. The platform is available free as part of Google Apps Premier Edition, and comes with 3 GB of storage per user account.

Comcast: Heavy Users To Pay More

Friday, August 29th, 2008

From October 1, 2008, heavy Comcast users will pay more for their Internet usage. Anyone who exceeds a monthly usage cap of 250 gigabytes can expect to pay a “surcharge” which could amount to $15 for each 10 gigabytes over the cap.

Fortunately, most Comcast customers can rest easy: 250 gigabytes is a LOT of data. Most residential users consume 2-3 gigabytes per month. In fact, 250 gigabytes equates to the equivalent of downloading 62,500 songs (at 4 MB/song) OR downloading 125 standard-definition movies (at 2 GB/movie) OR uploading 25,000 hi-resolution digital photos (at 10 MB/photo).

Meanwhile, I shake my head. Here in Australia ALL Internet Service Providers impose caps, surcharges and restricted upload/download speeds for “excessive” use!
