Yeah, I saw that too. I was thinking it was partially due to email being so easy to send, that they want to jack up their rates in other areas. Bah to them.
On the other hand, I'm pretty certain the new rates hit direct marketers where it really hurt. There were a few complaining in a CNN article and suddenly I was all, "Hey, I don't mind this as much if it saves trees from the direct marketers." But still I can understand your pain. No fun sending mail out of the country.
