 The vast majority of people will simply give up on email once
spam becomes too much trouble to deal with.  I'll include ISP's in
that, too.

I'm not certain of this.


There is considerable evidence that it's already begun.


I didn't question that it may have "begun".
I don't believe that it'll just go on until the limit ("NO ONE" or even
"The vast majority").



The Pew Trust report on which they are reporting can be found at 
<http://www.pewinternet.org/reports/toc.asp?Report=88>.  A quick 
reading indicates that spam is only one contributing factor to the 
more general "problems with Internet Service Providers" cause for 
what the study calls "Net Dropouts".


Thank you, I shall certainly read this. I gather it applies to the US
market?
