Hey there!  I'm Alix Shadonnay at the business desk.
Today I'd like to draw your attention to a maybe or a real possibility that may be coming soon and it concerns fees that your ISP may be contemplating in order to cut down on spam and scam.
If this trend does indeed take off and I believe that it will, it would mean that if you want to send emails to others you would be charged a minimal fee of say pennies for sending out your email and your Internet service provider would ensure that you're sending out clean emails.  Benefits you say?  Plenty.  You would ensure that your emails are being read by more people and that your intended messages reach the right persons and this potential trend would be intended to focus on interactions between businesses and individuals.  On the receiver's side whenever you were to receive an email from someone other than a friend or family member you would be sure that it would not be a scam or spam.
There is much more for you to learn about two of the largest ISP players who are already making plans to make this service available.  There is an article in the latest issue of the free online magazine at www.sterlingcreations.ca.  The April 2006 issue, and the article is very informative.  It's on the free online magazine page and under the News and views section.
