It’s a bigger problem than whether or not people should be charged for keeping their ISP email. NTL were insisting years ago, when their ISP email was flaky as hell, that at the end of the day it was just a free add-on. But that’s before we all got online access to everything we subscribe to, not to mention various local and central government services, with our email addresses as the starting point for logging in. Instead of contemplating free ISP email, OFCOM should be considering whether ISPs should be linking email to internet service at all.
