Google misses costly deadline thanks to the LAPD

Google’s promised to get all of Los Angeles’ city employees switched over to Google Docs by June 30th, then promptly broke that promise. They say now it will take at least until mid August, and are blaming the LAPD. They insist that their data not be mixed in with any other data Google maintains, and they want background checks done on anyone who accesses it. Fulfilling the requests has been time consuming because Google, like most services, stores user data together on many different servers. The delay caused by the LAPD’s demands, however reasonable they may be, will cost Google $135,000, the amount it takes to run the city’s current Novell setup. It will be interesting to see if they make their new deadline!
