Mozy, owned by EMC, is a back-up provider. You run their software and they spirit your precious files away to the cloud, on their own (presumably EMC-based) servers. The company, which long offered unlimited back-up of files for a paltry $5 a month, increased their prices and cut the unlimited plan, citing financial problems with the model i.e. it cost to much to transfer and store terabytes of essentially useless information. We had a bit of an inkling that this would happen but no one wrote about it here because this isn't ITCrunch and Mozy was apparently as sexy as granny panties to the regular TC crew. We got our first note on January 16 from a Mozy employee: In the next few weeks, Mozy will be discontinuing their unlimited service offering. Since the EMC acquisition, they have had a difficult time controlling expenses and managing morale and they have lost control of their economic model. Any Mozy employee can verify this. I suggest you call Mozy headquarters in Seattle, or American Fork, Utah and ask to speak with someone about this. Two of the general managers that are running Mozy: Charlotte Yarkoni, Vance Checketts. It'll be announced anyway in a couple of weeks, but it would be fun if you were to scoop it.
