WOW. $60 per eyeball, is a pretty excellent evaluation for an Email company,
which service has very few provisions to guarantee locking the clients.
What will be interesting is to see what Google does with it. Whether they
are buying the Business eyeballs, or Merging its technology into the Gmail
revolution or vice versa.
This brings up an interesting question.... How many WISPs serving Businesses
have taken a total user count versus connection/subscriber count? If you
provided the Email or Delivered non-blockable Browser adds, such as in title
bar, one could possible argue another one-quater to one-half annual revenue
of worth, considering eyeball value, using this Google transaction as a
comparable.
