Spymac follows Google on free gig of storage

Spymac.com, a Web hosting company for Macintosh aficionados, is giving away e-mail accounts that come with 1 gigabyte of storage, mimicking a move made by search leader Google last week.
From Monday, current and new subscribers to Spymac Mail will have access to the storage, according to the company. The free e-mail accounts, which can be used with any operating system, do not rely on keyword scanning or advertising, it said in a posting on the Spymac site.
The launch could signal changes to the free e-mail business that’s dominated by Yahoo and Microsoft’s Hotmail. These Internet companies impose fees of between $10 and $50 a year for a far smaller amount of e-mail storage. Yahoo subscribers, for example, get 100 megabytes storage–10 times less than Spymac’s free 1GB–for $50.
