Chinese Company Fined for Spamming

China has more than 111 million Internet users.
There is an estimated 700,000 Chinese websites, says www.allheadlinenews.com
Each year about 50 million spam messages are sent/received.
One company in the southern city of Shenzhen, across the river from Hong Kong, sent one spam email too many.
Some 60% of all email in China is considered junk….
The Guangdong Provincial Administration of Communication said the Shenzhen company will be fined $630 for sending a ‘vast’ amount of junk email since January.
The reason for the fine – to send a message to other spammers.
Yea! And if other companies don’t listen, the companies will have to pony up the price for an excessive speeding ticket, too.
Is $630 abt. 5000RMB enough to stop them?
What do you think?
