Re: assumed opt-in

To play devil's advocate, consider the end result of a customer getting redirected to something like this versus a squatted 3rd party domain. Sure they're going to get advertisements here, but hopefully this will help somewhat lower the chances of random spyware and virus infections. I'd consider that a small benefit to the average consumer as well as the ISP.

What stops them from being redirected to a squatters domain?

Really... doesn't ISP redirection at this moment only work for unregistered domain? Not like OpenDNs which you can choose to block known spyware sites.
