Spam costs us $10 billion (U.S.) a year, says ITU

The International Telecommunications Union (ITU) says the annual loss in
productivity because of spam totals $10-billion a year in Europe and the
U.S. alone. The Government of Canada has put together a task force to study
the spam problem here and recommend some things government and industry can
do to reduce spam. Now, the ITU is organizing its own anti-spam summit to be
held July 7 to 9 in Geneva. The ITU has a
press release on this summit
out today.
