The cost of switching between cloud-computing providers has long drawn complaints, with the services derided as “roach motels” that let businesses check in but not out. Now Alphabet Inc.’s Google is taking steps to change that. Effective immediately, the company is eliminating fees levied on customers who want to leave its cloud for a rival service — a policy shift that may pressure competitors Amazon.com Inc. and Microsoft Corp. to do the same.

AT&T and Google have announced that all Android phones on the network will use Google’s Android Messages app for SMS and RCS services. T-Mobile made the exact same partnership deal with Google in March, which leaves Verizon as the only US carrier who hasn’t committed to switching its customers to Android Messages by default. Along with the switch to Messages comes another important shift: real interoperability with RCS on other networks. AT&T has supported RCS for awhile now, but… Source link

Google has always offered Chrome profiles as a way for people who share devices to keep their browser info separate.
