Story: Spam campaigners reject email payment plan
Posted by: Chris Goodman (Tuesday 7 February 2006, 4:17 PM)
I do not agree to this proposal as it is not a necessity in any way, the subscriber having already paid his ISP to connect to the net and has either paid for a browser or using a free browser. If AOL and YAHOO are planning this for their own users then that is a matter for them as they would soon find out.
Someone at the ICO welcomes them move - but it is not there concern or business and they should not make comment on the matter.
Perhaps it would be a better idea if all those public servants who use the taxpayer funded computers and networks to send/forward their large numbers of private emails every working day were made to pay then we might get improved efficiency and a financial rebate. And, as a spin off, I get a lot forwarded to me that have been through so many public service departments it is unbelievable and a wonder that a good day's work is done by the senders.
