Ya even Canonical gave people a year to get their crappy music and pictures of their cats off of Ubuntu One before shutting it down and it was free.

In a not very surprising move, Verizon has found its cloud product to be non-viable and is closing its doors. Customers have one month to migrate to another provider.
Only a month to move? Seems a little hasty.
Damn - only one month? agreed, hasty.. wow!
But then again, if you were putting servers on Verizon, you were just asking for problems.

That seems like it's the furthest away from what the company actually does without being in another field. Kind of like McDonald's opening a build your own pizza shop.

Actually it's an entirely different field. Like McDonald's opening up a flower shop. ISP and hosting service are not related.

I don't know if anybody sane would put their stuff on Verizon cloud. Wasn't it Verizon hosting healthcare marketplace when it first rolled and crashed and burned so badly? And that prompted gov to move to HP?

And it wasn't cheap either.

One month doesn't even seem that long, maybe it's because they don't have any customers?

I was thinking technology as a whole but ya that's true.
