Thank you for a good write-up. I wanted to make 2 key points of clarification:

  1. We have actually come up with a whole new approach to backup and remote access. This is where the company is going on the technical side, it happens to be a great fit w. mobile carriers and hand-set manufacturers around the world. We haven’t left remote access behind, it’s very much part of the new direction.

  2. Easy Box is much more than hosted Exchange, it is actually a full bundle for the IT-department-less SME: Computer, phone, broadband wireless, broadband, all necessary voice and data plans and hosted applications. All for one fixed monthly fee. A very visionary offering that we’re extremely proud to be part of.
