London Grid for Learning (LGfL), a consortium of all London’s local authorities launched Microsoft Live@edu services for up to 1 million students across London. Branded "London Mail" by LGfL, the new service will incorporate 33 local authorities and 2,500 schools, and is the largest potential deployment of Microsoft’s Live@edu mail services worldwide. Schools will be making significant cost savings using the hosted service, as Live@edu includes applications such as mobile, desktop and web-based e-mail — encouraging students to collaborate, create online communities, and make learning and the sharing of information easier.
