At Unspam, we are the leaders in providing governments with do-not-contact registry deployments. In addition to providing the infrastructure for e-mail, fax, mobile phone and instant messenger do-not-contact registries, Unspam assists companies in complying with child protection registry laws. Founded by attorneys and computer scientists, Unspam's approach takes into account both the legal and technological aspects of electronic messaging. Beyond our work with governments, Unspam has the longest-running, most robust e-mail address harvester monitoring network, named Project Honey Pot. Large ISPs currently use Project Honey Pot data to track down the bad guys and keep spam from subscribers' inboxes.

Companies are given the opportunity to maximize their marketing outreach, putting their products and services directly in front of their customers. As beneficial as it is for companies to have total access to their target audience, customers might feel overwhelmed by the hundreds of advertisements they see through their screens.

It's no surprise that laws are created as modern marketing trends evolve. From paper to mobile web browsers, federal and state governments have made efforts so that those who want to be marketed to have the access, while those who don't can block it.
