this is not entirely true, a majority of these far-end customers are paying the same price regardless of utilization. Even the utilization charged customers are not having their 95th Percentile changed because of spam, or that'd be my guess. In the end there is no money for mci from spammers.
agreed, in the majority of the cases. on the other had, implementing the FUSSP jrace proposed would cost mci (or any other carrier) revenue as they would be seen as frothing-at-the-mouth fanatics that present a business risk when used for upstream transit even for folks that run clean networks and deal with abuse complaints properly. and yes, it's time for this thread to die. paul
