| Privacy violations, coming to an ISP near you...
Okay, seriously though, I work for an ISP and nobody has ever come to us asking us to sell our clickstream data. I would love to have an extra $5/user/month of revenue, but the bottom line is that when it comes down to it, this is a serious violation of privacy since everything is logged -- your IP address, even if it is dynamic, is logged everywhere, so that clickstream data can tell an ISP a LOT that people probably don't want out.
Not that it matters... Money is the root of all evil (and therefore you have the gub'ment!) |

At least SAA has my back.
