AOL to roll out free email to non-profits

NEW YORK (Reuters) - AOL, the Internet service provider unit of Time Warner Inc., on Friday said it will not charge legitimate not-for-profit organizations and advocacy groups to have their e-mail delivered to consumers.

The decision addresses an outcry from political and civic activist groups, which said AOL's plans to charge mass senders of e-mail a fee to reduce junk mail amounted to an "attack" on the "free existence of online civic participation."

The company said that it is seeking to make it "crystal clear" that nonprofit groups would have all their e-mails delivered, including enabled Web-links and images, contrary to recent criticism in the media by advocacy groups.

They're so un-innovative.  Free email?  My god, why didn't I think about that :roll: ?

America Online should change their name to Newbie Online because that is the only customer they can keep for any duration. It's like how Network Solutions is to the rest of the web hosting companies. They trick people into believing they must pay large sums of money to participate on the Internet.

I think Carl Icahn was right about one thing.  Time Warner simply does not understand digital age (nor does Carl Icahn, but he says that he at least understands that he doesn't understand digital age).
