Default Cable Companies Head-to-Head with Google and Yahoo

Comcast has partnered with Zimbra to provide 12.5 million broadband customers with a sophisticated email service called SmartZone. At the core of SmartZone is a new version of Zimbra’s open source, browser-based collaborative suite that includes email, instant messaging and voice mail access. Features include listening to voice mail online and video instant messaging.

Cable networks finally realizing that in order to compete with Google, Yahoo et al, you first have to steal away the “eyeballs”?

It’s a strategy that Microsoft, Yahoo and Google do so well. Launch products that don’t necessarily generate revenue, but give users a reason to come back, time and time again. The best way - discovered by all three - is to create a free service that is at the core of any online activity - email. If a user checks their email using Gmail, it’s just a short mouse-click to capture their search preference, video watching or other online activity. For more info, click here.

The mindset of the three companies is to have the loyalty of customers by giving them different services such as this one.

It could result to defeat the aim of the three but, however after some time the service would pick up.

Well i don't think able companies will go out of fashion as people will still like to see the television on the television sets and with family etc . Plus these days they are offering movie channels customized with user choices an many such features also . So you’ll see Yahoo partnering with ISPs and cable companies to provide services with them, whereas Google is more likely to try to destroy those companies and commoditize their markets, capturing a new control point along the way.
