I've thought about the cost analysis of salaries and benefits versus network access. I even went so far as to model the analysis after case studies in text books. The decrease in spam would have to be quite serious to justify even 2 (two) people working on reducing it. Depending on the costs of network access the reduction needed was scary. I think fighting spam will be done on an ethical rather financial basis. (Unless *paying customers require successful blockage.) Of course, YMMV.
