I agree with email charges, but...
KaplanMike 28th Apr 2008
I agree that a $.001 fee per email is a small price to pay --
frankly, I'd gladly pay a penny each -- but there are
practical applications.

First, who gets the money? The ISP? The backbone
companies? Some Net bureaucracy?

Second, how will you stop spammers from using your
email and having innocent people get charged thousands
of dollars for the latest snake-oil pitch? If they can easily
spoof my businesses domain e-mail address, can't they
just as easily spoof the billing programs??
