“Here is a news tip for you,” said a p2pnet Reader’s Write —- “Ontario ISP, Nexicom caught red handed trying to sell off its users private data.”

It was referring to Robb's item in dslreports on July 3, which said:

“DSLReport users, I have to sadly report that Nexicom is selling everything you see and do on the Internet to NebuAd,” wondering, “Were you informed of this?”

Nexicom is an Ontario ISP and our email asking company senior network admin Paul Stewart for his thoughts hasn’t yet been answered.

[UPDATE] Nexicom replied

“We are at present monitoring the results of US Congress hearings and Canadian Privacy Office determinations. ”

===============================

So guess based on that outcome Nexicom will be more than thrilled to give out user data if its a go. Even if the user "opt's out" they will still get the spam but not "personalized".

Nexicom gets my two-thumbs up for being dicks.

Buyer Beware.

[no offence to Stewart]
