Deleting spam costs billions
Deleting Spam Costs Billions, Study Finds
Feb 2, 9:23 PM (ET) By ANICK JESDANUN NEW YORK (AP) - Time wasted deleting junk e-mail costs American businesses nearly $22 billion a year, according to a new study from the University of Maryland. A telephone-based survey of adults who use the Internet found that more than three-quarters receive spam daily. The average spam messages per day is 18.5 and the average time spent per day deleting them is 2.8 minutes. The loss in productivity is equivalent to $21.6 billion per year at average U.S. wages, according to the National Technology Readiness Survey produced by Rockbridge Associates, Inc., and the Center for Excellence in Service at Maryland's business school. The study, to be released Thursday, also found that 14 percent of spam recipients actually read messages to see what they say, and 4 percent of the recipients have bought something advertised through spam within the past year. The random survey of 1,000 U.S. adults was conducted in November and has a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 3 percentage points. |

If it takes 3 minutes to delete 18 spams, no wonder this country is going in the shitter and India is picking the slack. Lazy bastards.

How much do you think deleteing spyware costs? I think it would easilly dwarf that amount.

if people didn't buy shit from spam it would die...
apparently we still live in a consumer based world... those purchases fuel economies and become taxable income at some point in the chain... also the supply & demand on hosting etc fuels the economy, now if they'd do a FULL and HONEST cost analysis I'd love to read it... until then it's just anti-spam propaganda... PS: I'm NOT an advocate for spam, just stating my opinion which I believe are based on reality of the bigger picture...however, I could be wrong... shrug

Why are employees allowed to check email at work? I'd filter off web browsing and instant messages except for the people that needed it. And those who needed it would be monitored
