Instead, Yahoo! and other third-party e-mail will be accessed directly at the MyFairPoint.net portal.'

Fairpoint's profit plan: force all Webmail users through Fairpoint's portal, by blocking all direct access to Webmail portals other than its own. Will Fairpoint's own search engine portal be next? What can stop them?"
