Special Report - Was your Pocket Picked Today

ial Report: Was Your Pocket Picked Today?Have you ever been the victim of a pickpocket? Some of these guys are so good theycan fleece you and you never know it until it's too late. Well, if you have a publicemail account, your pocket is getting picked every day. You don't know it, but everyday your wallet is being lifted.Over 50% of the tens of billions of emails sent worldwide each day are unsolicitedand unwanted. Someone has to pay for the handling of that mail: getting it into thepipeline, sorting it, and transferring it on so it can be received at the correctdestination.Commissio ner Mozelle Thompson said, "Finding a solution here is like putting sockson an octopus. There are too many moving parts. But the clear message is that doingnothing is not acceptable." "The thing is, the UCE mailers keep sending them out because all they need is amodem and an internet connection and for them the rest is pretty much free. Theybasically send the junk out for nothing. But its not free to everyone else. Whenhundreds or even thousands do that at the same time.In this business, "CPU Time" is a major expense and processor performance is acritical issue for every ISP. And, these huge unsolicited mailings are extremelyexpensive to handle. The sender doesn't pay that cost, but everyone else on thesystem does have to pay it."In short, who do you think is forced to bear the costs that the advertiser hasavoided? That's right, you do. Those costs have been shifted from the unscrupulousjunk mailer to you and everyone else on the system. If you have a $9.95 a month dialup account, how much of that is due to these junk mailers stealing from you- over50%. Your connection fee could be cut in half if these guys would just get out ofthe system.It just never stops, and innocent people's money just keeps going down the drain."Junk email is no different from junk faxes in the way it consumes the resources ofothers. Over time, unless the growth of UCE is stopped, it will destroy theusefulness and effectiveness of email as a communication tool. Spam is based ontheft of service, fraud, and deceit as well as cost shifting to the recipient. And look at it from another angle. Huge ISPs have generated hundreds of millions inprofits with the tremendous growth of public email. Did they "share the wealth" withyou? Did you receive a check? Should you have? "Was Your Pocket Picked Today?"By now we trust that you are beginning to see the value of private internet mail.It's totally secure and operates completely separate from public email, much asFedEx is completely different from the U.S. Postal Service. For the first time you have a chance to decide which is better, Private internetmail or public email?
