Google drops Gmail address in UK

Wednesday, October 19th, 2005

BBC NEWS | Business | Google drops Gmail address in UK
Google have been forced to drop “Gmail” in favour of “Googlemail” in the UK because a UK company has been using the term “Gmail” for several years.

I’m surprised that the mighty dollar didn’t make the pound see cents…umm sense that is :-)

Anyway, looks like the UK clients that have already registered as Gmail are OK but new registrants will have “@googlemail.com” .

Ahhh – the complexities of a shrinking world.
