Below is an ad from the print edition of today’s DAWN newspaper. The ad is issued by Gerry’s DNATA, which is a part of the Gerry’s Group of Companies and that group also contains an ISP called Gerry’s Net.

What I find remarkable about is the email address at the bottom — it’s a rival ISP’s domain (Cybernet).

You’d think that, in this day and age, a tech-saavy group like this would manage to get their own domain for consumer communications. And if, for some reason, a $10 domain with email forwarding is too steep (the ad cost approx. $7000, btw) not, then at the very least there should be some sort of group policy about using each other’s services.

It doesn’t at all speak well of Gerry’s Net when it can’t even host email for companies within its own group.
