2 edits | Gone For Now But Not Dead Yet Don't worry, NebuAD will be back once it pays off finances the re-election campaign of the appropriate Congre$$ional puppet(s) to add an obscure national security clause buried in a five thousand page report on subject matter that has zip to do with broadband and whose sole purpose is to allow its business model. I further expect NebuAD to return with a fuzzy new name, as well...something along the lines of LuvUAD...yunno, because selling private data to the highest bidder without disclosing it is a form of love for the subscriber. |

1 edit | Of course we will see them again. Someone has to be funding them. I actually believe it is still going on but people have shut up about it.
Cable companies and telco's don't give in this easy when there is a buck to be made. They freely give customers information out at the drop of a hat. Why should this be a problem for them?

Well, anything to enhance your browsing experience 
We already have an honest opt-in ad based ISP called NetZero. I agree, to change to opt-in would be to change their business model. Changing business models doesen't make much sense. You are who you are. They should be allowed to die peacefully
