I saw
this in the New York Times this morning, and for a moment I thought, "Yes, at last they're nailing the right people for text messaging! Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!!!!!"
Verizon Wireless Plans to Charge Companies Sending Text Messages
Verizon Wireless this week told companies that send out text messages that starting Nov. 1 it will impose a fee of 3 cents for each message it delivers to the phones of its subscribers. The plan prompted waves of protest among many of the companies that use text messages, and Verizon has backed off the details.
I had that nice, warm glow about making the spammers pay, right up till I ran into this:
The 3-cent fee would be in addition to the fee of as much as 20 cents that those subscribers pay Verizon to receive the same message.
Never mind. You can all go back to bed now. Here's something nice to take with you.
