I agreed with Justin, It’s not about “ban India” or not it just not the solution of the problem, I Think we have to find out the root cause.

I like your thought process in whether to “ban India” or not. When you take a closer look at who the real “culprit” is, you find that there are many companies in many countries that could be involved and it’s hard to say who’s to blame.

As we get closer to Thomas Friedman’s “Flat Earth” we’re going to find that event he smaller companies will have a global presence. What do you think is the best way to politely explain to our friends and co-workers in India and elsewhere that enough’s enough…spam is bad for the community?

The New York Times just had an article on the cost of non-monetized customers: “In Developing Countries, Web Grows Without Profit” – http://www.nytimes.com/2009/04/27/technology/start-ups/27global.html.

Excerpt:

Call it the International Paradox.

Web companies that rely on advertising are enjoying some of their most vibrant growth in developing countries. But those are also the same places where it can be the most expensive to operate, since Web companies often need more servers to make content available to parts of the world with limited bandwidth. And in those countries, online display advertising is least likely to translate into results.
