Large ISPs ponder spamLarge ISPs ponder spamPosted Jun 24, 2004 3:39 UTC (Thu) by smoogen (subscriber, #97)Parent article: Large ISPs ponder spam I think that in the current environment.. people who want to handle their own mail etc will have to pay for that priveledge. There isnt any sort of 'universal right' that one can run his own email services just because he can connect to an ISP. There is also no right not to be probed by an ISP or expect unlimited bandwidth because the cable modem could allow it. For that matter, for most of the world there is no right that the communication you send out isnt theirs to do what they please when it goes on their wire. In order to 'get' such rights, people need to lobby and get them enacted into law. They need to move to ISP's that allow them the rights they want, or other ways. In any case, I am expecting that in the US the Department of Homeland Security would use these guidelines as guidance for any US based ISP or for sites that use US networks to communicate elsewhere.
