Certainly not my intent. The potential for abuse here is vast. But injection over the top of existing advertising relationships is not happening - yet.
I'd bet you're 100% correct that ultimately Ad-blocking applications are targeted and conquered.
I also am consistently annoyed that providers whine about funding upgrades and p2p users when they're consistently finding these new revenue streams without lowering prices. |

Comcast, for example, hasn't raised prices in at least the last 6 years, meanwhile inflation has marched on. If you adjust for inflation then the price does indeed go down each year, and speeds have increased from 1.5/3mbps to 6/8mbps over that same period. |
