Yahoo! Mail considers Indian users not worthy enough...

This screenshot is taken from a fresh account created on Yahoo! Mail services on yahoo.co.in which means I applied for a mail account on the localized Indian servers of Yahoo! Mail. And since it’s a part of the parent company, I expected it to be 100 Megs too like the normal Yahoo! mail accounts. But nope… It’s pretty sad that Yahoo! does not consider the Indian domain specific webmail users special enough and keep them with the old webmail space of 6 Megs. Too darn pathetic.

I do not think Google would differentiate on the basis of residence of the user what services he should be allowed to avail, but Yahoo! is doing just that.

Update: I contacted few of my friends online who are using the Indian specific domain and well, all of them are still with 4/6 Megs. Sad but true.

Google at the moment, doesn’t have any plans(atleast no indication) of going country specific. At the moment, its just @gmail.com :D

I dunno - I had yahoo for quite some time now - and Dont know for some reason I get updates first - whatever kind.
Like now a days (September) they came up with yahoo beta - I was the first few who got it - irrespective of nationality.
