"Advertisers who send unwanted solicitations by telephone, text messages (SMS), e-mail (spam) or fax may be fined as much as NIS 200,000, according to a bill the Knesset approved Wednesday. The new law takes effect in six months.
In addition to being a nuisance for private e-mail users, spam has become a heavy burden on Internet suppliers and other companies, whose bandwidth and storage capabilities need to be constantly expanded to deal with the ever-increasing bulk of spam being sent every day - estimated at more than 100 billion e-mails worldwide. The bill also refers to mass solicitation by fax."

I hope the US follows Israel and starts slapping fines on spammers. I absolutely HATE spam. It fills my email inbox with absolutely NOTHING. Not only that, I waste countless minutes deleting this junk. I think internet suppliers in America should start getting on the governments backs about putting in laws to enforce the ban of spam.
