Gmail Becomes Google Mail In Germany
By Chris Richardson - Tue, 05/10/2005 - 10:41
A naming rights issue has forced Google to change the name of their German email service. Because another party owns the rights to "G-Mail," Google will now call the German service "Google Mail".
As reported by heise online (the article is written in German), and according to Google Blogoscoped, the rights to G-Mail's name reside with German citizen Daniel Giersch, who apparently has no plans to release the naming rights to Google.
Google emails originating from Germany will still possess the @gmail.com extenstion due to the fact that Google was only obligated to use an alternative name for the email service.
