FTC Shuts Down Notorious Rogue Internet Service Provider

SPAM

First time ever the FTC shuts down an ISP.  Usually the FTC will just shut down the spammer but this time they took it a step further and shut down the ISP.  “A rogue Internet Service Provider that recruits, knowingly hosts, and actively participates in the distribution of spam, child pornography, and other harmful electronic content has been shut down by a district court judge at the request of the Federal Trade Commission.”  This is awesome, they should be doing this more.  Action like this will not wipe out spam but at least it will slow them down (a  little bit).  This is just the start and I can see the FTC will get more forcefull to companies that are in this pratice.
