Federal lawmakers Wednesday promised to introduce legislation this year to attack the problem of spam, with proposals to create a national "do not e-mail" list and apply criminal penalties for repeat offenders.
The U.S. Congress on Monday gave final approval to the first federal law regulating spam, which President Bush has indicated he will sign before the end of the year.
Proposals to control the digital deluge in the US include a national "do not e-mail" list and criminal penalties for repeat offenders.
The U.S. House of Representatives voted overwhelmingly to approve antispam legislation that could end more than six years of failed attempts to create a federal law restricting unsolicited commercial e-mail.
Neither George W. Bush nor John Kerry tends to talk much about technology, but both broke their customary silence last week in speeches the same day.
