All former DNSO members or other interested stakeholders/users,

 According to a new Spamhaus report, MCI makes $5 million a
year hosting spammers and illegal spamware. MCI/UUNET has long
topped the Spamhaus spam supporting ISPs list, with nearly 200
active SBL entries. MCI even took on spammers such as iMedia,
when they were terminated by Savvis in their half-hearted
response to leaked pro-spam memos."

  Well Vint, what say you?  Or is it that the additional profits
which I can only suppose MCI [ wordcom/con ] outweighs
dealing properly with such law breakers?

  Given Vint Cerf's position with MCI AND ICANN it would
seem evident that ICANN along with MCI are not even a
little bit interested in adaquately addressing UCE Spam and
could care less about the law of the land, AGAIN!  ..
