I just read this entire news story and all the posts. All I have to say is I wish we (as a society) would put as much effort into curing cancer, childhood obesity, and homelessness, to mane a few, as we do in protecting our computer's cookies, and our IP address. Adjust your browser security settings, encrypt your traffic, invest in a firewall, and a router. This is the Internet folks. Travel at your own risk, or start your own ISP. |

Hi Fame -- normally I would agree with you, but this stuff breaks the normal rules. None of the above will protect you from this, unless you buy a VPN for Internet Access -- and why do you need to buy a VPN for Internet Access when you're already paying for Internet Access? If this crap is allowed to continue, the Internet will be a fond memory as we "tune in" to see "what's on." |

NebuAd's ISP PartnersI've been updating Wikipedia as I've been finding these, so for my current list, it's probably best to look there. » en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NebuAd |

Re: Blackfoot Telecommunications Group, Inc. Missoula MT NebuadBlackfoot tested NebuAd on its internal corporate network, with employees only and not with its customers, in March 2008, but had similar concerns to those raised by consumer groups and elected not to launch the service.
