Because they can just sell all three companies CPUs for a sure profit.
Risking 3 large contracts only to try to compete with them (MS, Sony & Nintendo), in an already well established market is kind of dumb - that's why.
I want filtering software where I'm (read: easily) able to enter domains from which I'd like to recieve emails from, or even a specific address. Everything else is, by default, blocked.
Get a price in your head that you would be willing to continue to do the work for them - then double it and ask for that.
If they agree, great, you just made a killing.
If they counter offer they probably won't want to insult you and agree on 130-150% of your acceptable price.
Either way you win.
I figure out of my own experience. Most people in this area have a single telephone line to there house. And most of the time there is more than a one person for the line.
The article says 50 million phone numbers. You could probably assume a lot of those numbers are for a single household of more than one person.
So the actual number of people is probably well over 50 million, maybe like 75+ million (just a guesstimate).

But if enough people used filtering software like that you would think spammers would eventually give up[/wishful thinking]...

how about a cigarette lighter for your PC?
they haven't complied yet. I still get that damn sitefinder page.
I meant they probably won't want to offer a price thats much lower then the price you offerd them to do the job.

How long until your house gives you a call at work to tell you it's burning down?

It's fifty million phone lines, not fifty million people. My unscientific guesstimate is its probably more like 80-100 million people.
