BizThread: Email Postage coming soon. ??? AOL & Yahoo.

Postage is due for companies sending e-mail

Companies will soon have to buy the electronic equivalent of a postage stamp if they want to be certain that their e-mail will be delivered to many of their customers.

(AOL & Yahoo may be supporting this concept.)

If they go through with this, it might be a good time to start buying Google stock again, because GMail will go through the roof.

True, although I remember Bill Gates already came up with this idea a few years ago, so it does not seem unlikely for Hotmail to implement something similar.

It may set a dangerous precedent I guess, and I'm not too sure I support it, but truth be told it will be good for a number of companies who run legitimate email based businesses.

Would love to see this happen. Everyone will ditch Yahoo's POS system, the stock will take a dive, and google will be there to pick it up for pennies on the dollar.

Fuck aol and yahoo and let em try.

What, do you just forget about google or the other upstarts that would pick up the slack? A pay per email scheme will result in a mass exodus from whatever company is dumb enough to try it.

I'll also plan on being there to pick up the slack.
