From Jenny Keates
While it pains me to be cynical, my instincts tell me to follow the money and ask who profits from time spent online. If collecting spam with my regular e-mail doubles the time that I spend online to my internet service provider, then it doubles the value of my email-related business to my phone provider and, I assume, to my ISP. Small increases in individual spend translate to large increases in revenue to the companies involved.
