I believe that eventually bulk mail will be
taxed like alcohol and tobacco, at a rate of $0.01 to $0.10 per
addressee.
...
If I'm right about that, then political implications suggest that
body filtering will remain effective. They also suggest that real
opt-out/do-not-mail lists will appear.
my conclusions are similar. note that the real purpose of such a tax would be
to make spam legally legitimate, while raising the bar just enough to make it
inaccessible by small companies. but it wouldn't do anything to improve
the signal-to-noise ratio of email.
