"* SPAMMER LAUNCHES ISP FOR OTHER COMMERCIAL E-MAILERS
Cyber Promotions, Inc., best known for having been kicked off of as many
as 20 different Internet Service Providers for sending unsolicited e-
mail, has announced that it will become an Internet Service Provider
itself. CPI plans to charge its customers $50 per month, enabling them
to send unsolicited mass mailings -- referred to as spams -- as long as
they allow users to remove themselves from such lists and comply with
local, state, and federal laws. When asked why the company had not
thought of this solution earlier, CPI president Sanford Wallace said
that his company had been too busy with lawsuits.
