Rogers

Canadian Cable ISP Rogers has started injecting its own messages into HTTP data packets to bring up windows showing usage information. Just like the picture shown on this site a few months agow with an injected item onto a Google page.

While it's harmless enough for now, but what if Rogers decides it wants to inject its own advertising next, or inject other companies advertising to make more lucrative money.

The portal service is proving to be not very money making (after all @home tried with Excite and overspent itself into the explosion!) but this is better than portals, since you can inject this into ANY page!
