AOL and Yahoo Announce Pay to Spam 1
From the New York Times (registration required):
America Online and Yahoo, two of the world’s largest providers of e-mail accounts, are about to start using a system that gives preferential treatment to messages from companies that pay from 1/4 of a cent to a penny each to have them delivered. The senders must promise to contact only people who have agreed to receive their messages, or risk being blocked entirely.
And the internet falls into the hands of the corporations.
Sheesh.
