10:48 PM - Charging for E-mail is here
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=07/06/09/199259
A service called CertifiedEmail is being used by several large ISPs including Yahoo, AOL, and Comcast. (Yahoo partners with broadband providers) This service charges 1/4 a cent per e-mail sent. E-mails are guaranteed whitelisted. The catch is that ISPs won't guarantee delivery of email any longer unless you pay up.
This is a terrible day for the Internet. My email server has been locked out of hotmail for a year and now i won't be able to email others anymore. I can't even pay for this service as I don't have a business license.
