Kim Dotcom, the German-born internet
entrepreneur fighting extradition from New Zealand over US claims of
"criminal" copyright infringement, says he plans to launch an end-to-end
encrypted email service to go with his Mega encrypted file storage
offering.
Speaking from New Zealand via a Skype video link to London, Dotcom said that his new Mega file storage service which launched in January now has more than 3 million registered users who have stored a total of 125m files in the first month of operation.
"It
took [US cloud storage company] Dropbox two years to achieve that,"
Dotcom, 39, said. "We can see really high demand for this storage."
Next,
he said, "we're going to extend this to secure email which is fully
encrypted so that you won't have to worry that a government or internet
service provider will be looking at your email."
