Lurking in the background

....Embarq again repeats that they believe their fine print notification adheres to FTC standards.....

In other words, Emparq did the very minimal they thought they could get away with, while doing their best to keep this "service" hidden.

IMHO, any business that needs to keep itself as hidden as NebuAd isn't worthy of existence. If their system is so great, why do they fight so hard to keep it hidden? If the user experience is so much "enhanced", then wouldn't they want everyone to know about it and use it?

Not any better than spammers, phishers and spyware creators, IMHO.

Edit: Spelling
