When ISPs next decide to redirect you to an advertisement before allowing you to continue to the valid URL you typed -- for each URL you visit. After all, that won't keep anything from working either -- you'll just be a little inconvenienced every time you visit a new site. What if they forced you to visit their portal site before you could browse anywhere else? It's slippery slope when you start mucking with networking standards just to make a buck. ISPs need to realize that they are just "dumb pipes" and work to do that job well. -- John M - Cranky network guy

en102 Canadian, eh? join:2001-01-26 Valencia, CA	Yup - thats where the Internet becomes a useless piece of spam (already on its way there). It would be 'nicer' if there was a 'real' web interface for this, and you could say 'opt-in' for cheaper Internet service (profiled) with spam filled/redirected Internet service, and a 'real' Internet. Wait... they do have something like that - its their 'business class' Internet. If these ISP's start implementing their zone finder service on business class Internet service, then they'll be losing customers VERY fast. -- Canada = Hollywood North

frost203 join:2005-09-17	Well maybe if business class service isn't redirected as well then just using those dns servers might be a choice or work around that people can simply use.
