Why is a battle over an e-mail account so important? Apparently, it’s important enough that the CEOs of Microsoft and Google, Steve Ballmer and Eric Schmidt, came down to Los Angeles’ city hall to meet with the city council. We get the scoop from LA Times tech reporter David Sarno, and find out why LA’s e-mail accounts are so important. Will Google’s cloud-based e-mail system save the City of Angels in these tough economic times? Or will Microsoft’s trusted Outlook and office suite be the city’s redeemer?
Guest on the show:
David Sarno Tech reporter for the LATimes
