"Would you pay to ensure that your email was delivered? If so, how much?
Would you pay even though you've used the services for free?

Why would I pay more/extra for a service I am already buying? I have paid for a portal to the net through my local ISP (NOT AOL) and am providing my own anti-virus and spam blocking programs. It is so easy that I can never understand why anyone would use AOL's memory hogging software and tracking garbage on their computers.

Welcome to the Canteen Dust In The Wind!

My issue with AOL doing this is that it could be a Spammers Paradise. Also, I believe that it is also heading towards a direction for which we already get for free (such as Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail, etc...) would in the future become a pay service. I don't like AOL to begin with, but this adds to the question about what they would stop at. A lot of people use their messenger services. What's to say they wouldn't begin charging for that service?

This could end up cutting off a lot of our Troops from their families. Unless they really believe it's a must.

I'm wondering how many people AOL feel would pay for this service? I'm talking about non-corporate users.
