Exactly, and given the relative success of spam filters such as gmail's, the market would strongly shift away from anyone who charged.
In all seriousness, the micropayments concept has been floated long ago as a spam-fighting measure; the first problem is that just about every provider has to do it before it becomes useful enough to warrant the cost--which incurs a large first-mover penalty.
