Based on the article you gave the link to, and the lovely diagram
enclosed within, it looks to me like they are just offering a special
service to ISPs that gives the provider better access into docomo's
mail system than what they would get if they didn't sign up for the
service. It doesn't say "if you don't pay, you can't send mail to
docomo users" but "if you pay, you get your own dedicated connection
into our mail system". Doesn't sound all that evil, unless I missed
something. Just sounds like they're trying to defray the cost of
general internet mail access by having a "premium" service for those
ISPs willing to pay.
BTW, it said the system was going to go into effect in March of 2002,
so we should have known quite a while back if something evil happened
or not...
