This Monday marked the 15th anniversary of the birth of Hotmail . That July 4th launch date is no coincidence — the service’s founders intended its release to highlight the symbolism of its independence from more traditional e-mail models. The following year, the service would be snatched up by Microsoft and housed under the software giant’s MSN umbrella. The subsequent years haven’t always been easy for the brand, thanks in part to competition from Yahoo and Google-owned services. In 2007, the service fired back, revamping and rebranding itself as Windows Live Hotmail. It’s been a decade and a half of ups and downs, but the webmail service continues to be one of the most widely used in the world. Got any Hotmail-related memories?

Frustrated by a lack of choice amongst LTE carriers ? We sympathize, so join us while we ponder a relocation to Seoul where not one, but two major telcos — SK Telecom and LG U+ — have enabled access to the high speed protocol. Service began on July 1st for data devices (read: modems) while phones from Samsung and LG are scheduled to make an appearance this fall. While those in Seoul are already surfing at higher speeds, the LTE wave is slated to go nationwide by 2012 for U+ subscribers and in 2013 for those on SK. Still not enough 3GPP goodness for you? Add the nation’s third major carrier KT Telecom and their Q3 LTE trials to the mix, and we’ll know where to send you next time you’re hankering for delectable download speeds with a side of spicy kimchi.
