Занятный отчет в тему - Spam: annoying but lucrative - Oxygen3 24h-365d, by Panda Software (http://www.pandasoftware.com) Madrid, November 19 2003 - The Register has reported an interesting study by Telus International(*) reveling the profitability of spamming, despite the fact that only 50 in every million recipients take the bait. According to this report, response rates barely reach 0.005%. This means that for every one person interested in receiving the information, there are around 20,000 people wasting time downloading, reading and deleting the message, not to mention the waste of resources (bandwidth, storage space, etc.). Despite these low success rates, spamming is still a profitable activity as, unlike postal mail, mass-emailing is extremely cheap. In fact if only one in a million replied, it would still be cost effective, the survey concludes. At present there is no global solution for unsolicited mail, although the war is being fought on many fronts: law-makers, ISPs, and developers of anti-spam tools for servers and end-users. Panda Software is also involved in the fight against spam and has recently launched a new family of solutions to protect against viruses and other Internet threats including spam.

А вот такая семинарская модель бизнеса.
1. Купить интернет-карточек.
2. Написать программу, которая конфигурится: карточкой, набором писем для рассылки и набором адресов. Параметры карточки, список адресов и тексты сообщений недоступны при просмотре файлов программы открытым текстом.
3. Продавать экземпляры этой программы где-нибудь в родном институте дешевле интернет-карточки.
