AIS Media Inc. CEO, Thomas Harpointner, was interviewed by Delta Sky Magazine to discuss the issue of spam within the email marketing industry. His statements included:

Thomas Harpointner of AIS Media Inc. conservatively estimates that 40 percent of all e-mails are spam, costing U.S. corporations almost $10 billion. But in a recent issue of The New Yorker, Michael Specter speculates that at least 70 percent of e-mails are spam and the number is as high as 90 percent in some regions. That’s something like 100 billion unsolicited e-mails a day. No one knows how much junk e-mail is actually out there, but can’t someone can the spam?
