IP-based opt-out system

How does this help when IP addresses change all the time???

IP-based opt-out would only work if the person has a static IP address. It should be ISP account based that way every computer that connects through ones network wouldn't get the ad's and such.

The solution would require very little effort on the part of the ISP. The MAC Address of the customers modem whether Cable or DSL can be associated with an OPT-IN or OPT-OUT flag. The MAC Address will not change. All the ISP would have to do is check the status of the OPT-OUT Flag assigned the Modem's MAC Address and use that information to update the OPT-OUT Flag assigned to the IP Address when the IP Address changed. Problem solved. Remember this solution is patent pending.
