As per an Associated Press (AP) report, starting today, Google's free email service, Gmail, will shed whatever remains of its invitation only restrictions, to become truly open to people world-wide.
This marks a first since the launch of Gmail on April 1, 2004.
As such, in the US, Canada, Mexico, and large parts of Asia and South America, invitations will no longer be needed in order to sign-up for Gmail.
Keith Coleman, Product Manager, Gmail, described the development as "a pretty momentous time for Gmail".
Co-founder, Sergey Brin, said Gmail has become a 'real cornerstone' for Google, and that therefore, making it more widely available is important for the company.
Google's move implies that the company now believes they have adequate computing capacity to accomodate a generous amount of free storage via email.
As it is, each Gmail account gets at least 2.8 gigabytes of storage -enough to fill nearly 1.4 million pages.
However, Gmail will continue to retain its 'beta' or test status.
And, while it is certain that Google will now start selling additional storage capacity to email users with extraordinary needs, the specifics still need to be worked out.
In response to the latest development, representatives of Yahoo! and Microsoft have declined to comment specifically.
However Brin did say he doesn't especially care if Gmail ever becomes the largest e-mail service. He added that the trick isn't getting more people to use the service, but to get more people to use the service more effectively.

I wonder if Google will be collecting key data from the emails that it hosts and adding them to their search engine? And of course they say they will protect your privacy...

By invitation only was a smart marketing thing from the beginning. No one has ever had a problem getting a gmail account. But it is a great service!
