In this case, I believe the ISP *is* the business that is offering to spam
for dollars.  I read through their ad very quickly, and they say that they
can guarantee that their service will not be shut down as a result of spam
complaints, and that their contract with up-stream servers prevents
pulling the plug on the ISP that's sponsoring the spams.
