One of the pay-to-play common carrier services like Sailmail would have to file a
formal complaint to deal with this. ARRL won't do anything and I doubt a bunch of
hams bugging the FCC won't get results.

Subject: [RTTY] Legality of Circumventing Commercial Maritime ISP Services??
Yachtsmen may be using amateur radio in order to avoid paying the fees
for more expensive maritime email systems, perhaps such as
http://www.sailmail.com/ , which charges an annual vessel fee of $250.
This is most certainly a "radio service".
