When I had a 14.4K modem *all* I did was e-mail. Even with 56K surfing was not fun and the web was only consulted in case of real need.<g>
But now... So maybe it simply depends where you are on the curve. I was in a spam workshop yesterday and a guy was saying that spam was a bandwidth issue. I suppose it is if you are on the end of a slow link and (therefore?) all you are doing is e-mail: a big chunk of everything you do is always a lot. But it appears not so if you are on a fast connection where e-mail traffic is low in the single digits. So from the WSIS/WGIG perspective I am being asked: is spam a significant (network) problem for certain parts of the world? Maybe more importantly: will it still be so in UN timescales?

I guess we do not have the same needs over very slow links... _______________________________________________ Ietf mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
