Re: How are they gonna know?

Very well said, and gets me to thinking. The whole argument stems from the premise " you are accessing the content, by viewing the ads". Such as MSN videos which make you view a commercial before it shows the video you want to see.

That said, why cant we just be informed what the requirements are and choose whether the content is worth it? Instead we are presented with surprises, which are not always good ones, subjected to stealth tactics, etc.....

The original poster mentioned Use of Bandwidth. I like this idea. Since the pipe owners are considering charging more for the content providers, why cant we the users charge to view, display, and get rid of unwanted solicitations?

The time, and effort alone spent trying to make the intrusive stuff "leave us alone" would probably make pay the ISP bill.
