AOL and Yahoo! are to start charging for sending emails.
Both companies will still accept free emails but are offering the chance to pay to avoid their spam filters. By paying between a quarter [of a cent] and one cent per message companies will get preferential delivery of their messages.
The Register:
AOL and Yahoo! to charge for emails
NY Times:
Postage Is Due for Companies Sending E-Mail
I’m sorry that this doesn’t relate directly to copyright and such, but I still felt it was something that we would be very interested in since it relates to the openness and freedom of the Internet.
Don’t forget to come to our meeting tonight at 5:00pm on the 7th floor of Kimmel!
