Email charge dropped for nonprofits

An item on Computer Weekly says:

A disparate group of 50 non-profit US organisations have defeated AOL in its plan to start charging them for sending out bulk e-mail. …which could cripple their fundraising efforts. The group includes Oxfam America, Gun Owners of America, Friends of the Earth, and the AFL-CIO trade union confederation.

AOL has now said that non-profit organisations will be exempt from the charges.
