  • Opera should establish a customer-centric approach to this issue.
  • Opera should not use cram-down policies when acquiring customers in a buyout. Opera should show everyone else how to do it right, not copy a bad example.

    Email customers suffer greatly in the face of "standard" policy for the online world. Opera is acting no differently than Microsoft or any other buyer in a takeover. But these actions are much harsher when the service is email than with just about any other internet service.
