Comcast combines voice-mail, e-mail
Aiming to tie its triple-play customers together, Comcast said it will tie voice-mail and e-mail in a common dashboard, reports ITNews.com.
The company said it will establish a communications centre that will enable customers to use e-mail, voice-mail, instant messaging and address books from an integrated Web-based dashboard.
Called SmartZone, the application is scheduled to be deployed later this year, and will be free of charge for most Comcast customers.

Messaging abuse reduced
Cloudmark and MailChannels Corporation, have launched a new offering called Traffic Control with Cloudmark Authority, says Sanfrancisco.dbusinessnews.
The multi-layered solution for mid-tier ISPs combines MailChannels' connection management technology, which regulates the flow of suspicious e-mails at the network's edge with Cloudmark Authority's accuracy in identifying and blocking spam, viruses and phishing.
