For a long time, this group has debated on the ban of use of free web based emails like Yahoo!, Hotmail, Gmail etc. by officials working with various Public Authorities. Even T.O.U. of  the respective email provider made it clear. Several of the list members like Sarbajit, Karira, Harikumar etc. had emphasized the various Govt. regulations and NIC policy on ban of usage of such free email services.

Our moderator too had brought this to the notice of various senior officers and secretaries. Given below are some links which might be of interest to most of you
