There is no cost to spam? Ha. Wakeup!!!!
Here are two real cases that effect me directly. I pay for my service per
volume (per octet). Therefore it costs me real $$$$ to receive spam.
Secondaly, the other day I received 4 spam SMS messages. Never mind the
annoyance of having to get the warning, open the phone, navigate through the
messages, and delete them. When I got my wireless bill, I was pleasantly
rewarded by a charge of 10 cents for each SMS message!!!!

Reverse billing - a known and very worrying phenomenon that has been
appearing in what is normally regarded as Calling Party Pays territory
