ISP's still don't have a clue

Just shows ISP's don't understand consumers and I will give you the reason why.

For example:

With generalized ads, if a person is browsing for something and they see a advertisement that is interesting, something else other than what they are looking for, more than likely they will click on it. With targeted ads the person won't be able to do that since the ads are targeted to what the person is browsing. If let's say the banner ad on the web page is set to do targeted ads then it wouldn't be a issue. If all the ads on the page is targeted then it's just a waist.

Tracking a person's browsing habits is the wrong thing to do. First of all it's bad for business and second of all your going to get your customers outraged. Someone's browsing history is personal and private. Even though they don't know who you are by name, it still leaves people's mind open thinking the ISP is doing something bad with it.
