Telecom are launching a new service called Yahoo!Xtra Bubble - and it looks very attractive indeed. Free to subscribers, the service will include (according to the teaser site at www.yourbubble.co.nz):
* Personalisation of Yahoo homepage
* Merging of Xtramail and Yahoo!Mail - keep your @xtra.co.nz e-mail address but no more Xtra Webmail, instead the Yahoo Pro Mail interface is used with bags of storage. A HUGE improvement! Some of you may know it as Yahoo! Mail Plus (mailplus.mail.yahoo.com) which is normally US$20 per year
* Upto 10 additional mailboxes FREE (not just aliases)
* Flickr Pro account - usually US$25 per year - offers unlimited storage space for photos
* Pro Briefcase - 1GB of free storage space for you to store whatever you like
* Plus it hints at the possibility of a free security suite coming soon.
Hats off to Telecom, this sounds like an awesome package, and at zero charge.
