Title : AOL and Yahoo! to Charge for Emails 
Date : 2006-02-06 
Code : AOL and Yahoo! are to start <a href="http://www.theregister.co.uk/2006/02/06/aol_yahoo_charge_emails/" target="_blank">charging for sending emails</a>. Both companies will still accept free emails but are offering the chance to pay to avoid their spam filters. By paying between a quarter and one cent per message companies will get preferential delivery of their messages. So a "business class" email will go straight to an AOL-subscriber's inbox marked with a stamp saying "AOL Certified Email" while a free email will have to run the gamut of AOL spam filters. Free mails may also have images and web links removed.
