In this email I count viruses as spam as well.

It's on every level.

The tier 1 providers sell bigger tubes, so do the smaller providers.

Providers get money from users for SPAM filtering their email account, 
and in some cases even for an end-user solution they market.

I am sure there are losses, but saying there are no gains is simply false.

There are exceptions to this, like in everything else. For example, 
although this model would also fit Israel, here providers usually pay by 
the bit (I believe - I could be wrong) while their customers pay for the 
line itself, regardless of usage.
