Depending on Goggle Risky

Depending on Goggle Risky – Depending on Internet, hardware, and software companies is a mistake. Enterprises  are impacted as they drop product support, are purchased by other companies, and have security breaches and system failures of their own.

For example, Google – Supported Haiku ceiling fans with the Nest thermostat device via the “Works with Nest” program. Google decided to end the program and go with the “Google Net” to support its own hardware business.

Another example is Comcast Email – Many users who had comcast.net email accounts were never made aware of the limitation of services with Comcast’s recent spam protection process. What occurres is as an email is sent to a comcast user, if the email has multiple recipients, the email is placed on hold based on the comcast user’s usage. The user is NOT notified that the email was held. It is up to the sender to contact the user and re-send it with the email going to a single recipient.

The less that you depend on them for proprietary offerings, the more you can be assured that you can continue to operate when they change their corporate strategy. How long will it be before a company like Goggle decides to charge for their free email services. Wait a minute they already do that with their offering G Suite.
