AT+T customers probably don't want to use up much of their paltry bandwidth allocation downloading spam either.

I found it interesting that this site was a web hosting site, not a spammer site. I guess they catered to hosting spammers. If so, doesn't that mean that they would have to know what resided on their servers and if so, aren't they resposible to police those accounts. I understand part of it was kiddy pr0n. I know they can be charged if they knew that was there.
