So if Microsoft annoy a significant number of their customers by making it easy for third parties to spend all their e-mail postage credits, people might start to favor Microsoft's competitors?
I don't think so as it's the ISP which is charging the subscriber and that's the competition I'm talking about.
Wait, weren't you supposed to be arguing that this was a bad thing?
No.Rich explained who is responsible for the hazard. I mentioned why it may be difficult to fine the subscriber for the negligence when the he/she has been sold the idea of "unlimited" service.
If e-mail postage is introduced and is a success, subscribers may elect to do away with using the ISP for mail services and SMTP access. That can be a good thing or a bad thing depending on where you stand.
