Google Limits Free Lunch

Google Limits Free Lunch

For businesses with 11-50 users wanting to use Google Apps, the free lunch line closed for new subscribers. In fact, those business subscribers need to step up and pay $5/user/month for the pay-as-you-go, non-contractual option for Google Apps for Business. Only companies with 1-10 users will receive Google Apps for free; a version which comes with less free storage and lower uptime guarantees.
Standing Apart from Google Apps
