Google facing hurdles in bid to provide email service to governments

http://j.mp/hCB2rM  (L.A. Times)

       More than a year after the city of L.A. awarded Google a
       contract to provide email for its employees, the city
       controller has launched an inquiry over delays.  
       ...  
       "The city has asked us to meet new requirements that were not
       part of the original contract and which required work to
       implement in a cloud computing environment," said Google
       spokesman Andrew Kovacs.
