Political Rivals Unite Against Giants' e-Mail Plan

Robert McMillan writes on InfoWorld:

Both sides of the U.S. political spectrum have found an issue to unite them: Free e-mail.

Next Tuesday, a group of nonprofit organizations and small businesses will announce the formation of a coalition aimed at putting a stop to America Online (AOL) and Yahoo's plans to charge fees to mass e-mailers. The coalition, expected to be launched at a press event in New York, will be sponsored by digital rights advocacy group, the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), and it will include two political adversaries: the liberal MoveOn.org and the conservative RightMarch.com political action committees.
