If you take a look at this huge thread (UK Cable forum) you can track the efforts there to force ISPs to stop using phorm , a similar technology. http://tinyurl.com/65uvhf

The end result here is that my ISP will use my bandwidth that I’m already overpaying for to serve ads I don’t care about and will never click on; ads that deface someone’s carefully crafted Web site…
Not only “NO!”, but “FSCK NO!”.

If it affects the search results i am against it but if it does not then it may be a good idea and we always have the power to go elsewhere

NebuAd will soon be sued out of existence for copyright infringement. You can’t take a copywritten work (such as a web page), alter it (add ads) and republish it to money from it without permission from the copywrite holder.

Which they will never give, unless they get a cut of the money as well.

I feel that it is outrageous that ISPs would add their own content to anything that I wish to view.

The fact that they would have to spy on me in order to deliver relevant content is totally unacceptable.

However, if only generic content were to be used, with no spying on what I am viewing,
I might be swayed if they were to at least triple my bandwidth and mailbox size.

The ISPs and also the computer makers are constantly touting the advantages of the digital age but many times folks email boxes are so small that they can only receive a few pictures at a time before the mailbox becomes full and then email is rejected.

I feel that ISPs are already being overpaid by home-users for the product that they deliver.
