I agree - everything comes at a price. There are multiple issues like NSA,
privacy, security and availability of mails and other data, but everything
has its cost.
I am also interested in similar cloud solution, but even if you invest in a
machine, where would you run it and for a cloud solution you need at least
two in two different locations.
May I ask: What would you pay per year for a solution that solves all those
issues? Just curious - if I offer you a membership for 15 or 20US$/y would
it be acceptable?
Because the question is about free cloud I do not understand if he means
free from NSA or free licensed :)
He also says free or cheep so what is cheep? I think if privacy and
availability is important, 30 US$/y for 5G basic package is acceptable.
What do you think?
