Here's what NBCI has to say
A. What will happen now?
1. Initially, most of NBCi's current features and services will
remain operational with certain exceptions, including the
following:
- New files will not be able to be uploaded to
http://sharehouse.nbci.com;
- New pictures will not be able to be uploaded to some NBCi
clubs;
- The Pogo game section of NBCi has recently been transitioned
to
http://www.pogo.com/. We anticipate that NBCi members may
login to the
http://www.pogo.com/ url using an existing
account, retaining current ranking and earned points.
- On July 6th, Fusion One will discontinue their sync service
with the NBCi calendar application. (You will still be
able to use Fusion One to synchronize with non-NBCi
applications.)
2. The
www.nbc.com url will continue to take you directly to
programming information about the NBC Television Network.
Note: In the coming months, you may see additional changes to the
www.nbci.com site. It is our intention to provide you with advance
notice of any significant changes to our portal offering. Notice
will be sent to the alternate e-mail address currently listed in
your NBCi membership information.
B. What does this mean to you?
1. Make sure you have a backup of all data stored on
www.nbci.com
(such as your web site and shared files), as well as on Xoom.com
and SNAP.com. Such a backup should be stored on your hard drive,
on floppy disks or other web site hosting providers, but not on
NBCi.
2. Begin evaluating alternative web site hosting providers. We
recommend that you plan to have your site and shared files hosted
by a different provider as soon as possible and before July 15th.
NBCi has made arrangements with Homestead.com for web page hosting
and XDrive.com for file storage to help make the transition a
smooth one.
- For more information about Homestead.com for your web page
hosting needs, visit:
http://homesteadannouncements.homestead.com/NBCI.html
- For more information about Xdrive.com for your file storage
needs, visit:
http://plus.xdrive.com/target.html?path=signup.html,aff=nbci061301
3. Copy the contents of your address books (used in Calendar and
e-mail applications) onto your hard drive so that you have access
to that information when you are not on NBCi. (Again, we expect
that your e-mail address will continue to work, but you should
make a copy of data such as e-mail addresses and the contents of
important e-mails for your records.)
4. Copy the contents of your portfolios, such as the stock names and
symbols, purchase dates, amounts, etc., so that you have access to
that information when you are not on NBCi.
Instructions for copying and printing the contents of your address
book and portfolio are published at:
http://www.nbci.com/LMOID/resource/0,566,-5687,00.html.
C. How can you stay informed?
- The contents of this e-mail as well as answers to frequently
asked questions will be located at:

contact mail.com (a separate company) directly using this

PacBell, Verizon or Prodigy, please contact your ISP directly for
additional information.
