1 edit | "Without Users' Permission"
"As a general principle, we believe that maintaining the Internet as a neutral platform means that carriers shouldn't be able to interfere with Web content without users' permission," End Quote
The last three words of this quote are key. The way I read it is that Google wants a piece of the action somehow, and are just trying to give the impression that they want to protect the user. If there's a buck to be made, Google will figure it out.
Why can't those ISPS send their users an e-mail to tell them that they are exceeding the caps? Or possibly a telephone call?

| This tactic by Rogers gives them an unfair advantage over other ad suppliers because Rogers gets premium access to their customers. While Google has to fight to get their ad content to consumers, Rogers gets a free ride.
This is exactly what the network neutrality debate is all about, fair access to consumers. |

I also read it as Google saying Rogers is violating Google's copyright. |

That would work if you use the ISP's email system. But a lot of people use Google, Yahoo, etc. for their email and would not receive the message.... |

| said by N10Cities :and would not receive the message.... I agree. I use Cox Cable and the amount of spam that is delivered to the email is overwhelming. I don't mind having a little notice telling me that I'm about to reach my cap as long as that is the ONLY thing I receive. Once they start using it as an advertisement platform - then I'm pissed.
Cox is now using DNS redirection here in San Diego, CA. They do allow you to "opt out" but using different DNS servers. I got that switched about 30 seconds after I saw the redirect. |
