And how do you keep large hosting companies who have these wholesale rates for larger clients legitimate?
Everyone knows hosting companies can be trusted to help defeat spam

Why would you be happy to pay for something that should be free?
To help end spam? There are other ways.
What if your business model requires that you do daily mailings, but because of the pay-per-email rule, you are now forced to conduct a monthly mailing? Assume it is for a daily newsletter type of thing that customers actually WANT to receive.
There are a lot of questions that come up about the Pay-Per-email model... #1 being - who gets the money and why? Last thing we need is another Network Solutions type of company being given park place and boardwalk again. And what is to stop it from becoming a pay-per-
SPAM model once they get it all into place (ala USPS Bulkmail.)
What about businesses that have millions of legitimate contacts? They should not be burdened financially in ANY way, regardless of how small the amount per email is for them.
Pay-per-email is BS.
