ISPs Anger @ MP Group Over SPAM
Posted: 01st Jul, 2003 By: MarkJ
UK ISPs via the Internet Service Providers Association (ISPA) have hit back at the All Party Parliamentary Internet Group's (APIG) claims that they aren't doing enough to prevent SPAM (junk e-mail):
But the ISP Association (ISPA) disagreed with Wyatt's position. "[Wyatt] has made similar comments before but we dispute it. ISPs don't like spam; it costs them money and annoys their customers so they are doing a lot to combat the problem," said Brian Ahearne, ISPA's communications manager.
"The problem is that there are people out there who are determined to send spam."
Ahearne said that he hoped the spam summit would show that ISPs had become proactive and were just as eager to stamp out spam as the MPs.
So, technical problems and cost issues aside, do you think that ISPs are doing enough? More @ VNUNet.
