Discontinuing student email service

["Hall, Rand" <rand () MERRIMACK EDU>]

On the heels of another student email outsourcing question...it has occurred to me that some of us may want to step 
back and reflect on the following question:

Why do we still provide student email accounts?

We once provided labs full of typewriters and then computers. We used to provide our own dialup service. Once these 
things were commoditized we were able to largely eliminate them. Do student email accounts fall into the same lifecycle 
pattern?



Cheers,
Rand
