nebuad alters web traffic

This isn't just about ads. It's about altering traffic on the fly. Adding content to pages - including active content. This was documented recently in a detailed analysis at »www.freepress.net/files/NebuAd_Report.pdf

Who knows what this active content could do. Perhaps hijack existing ads in web page - just substitute charter's nebuad for one or more in the page and they get the revenue instead of the web page publisher who did the work to earn it.

This sort of invasive packet hacking is pretty bad in my opinion. For charter customers and potentially for the people who create web pages supported by advertising.

A lot bigger than just a few ads. A whole lot.
