MSN Calendar goes from free to fee

C|Net | at | by Mike

Microsoft is roping off yet another free service and asking for subscription fees, its latest attempt to encourage people to sign up for its MSN 8 Internet service. This week the company is e-mailing users of MSN Calendar, an online calendar service, telling them they must subscribe to MSN 8 by June 24 or lose access to the service.

"We regret to inform you that MSN Calendar will no longer be available as a free service as of June 25, 2003," says the e-mail, which also promises an improved calendar for MSN 8 users that will feature more printing and offline access capabilities.
