1 edit		Hmmm... AT&T's On-Ramp?

From the Times article »business.timesonline.co.uk/tol/b···8387.ece ...
Through Hitwise, the web-site company it acquired for £120m a year ago, Experian has held talks with internet service providers to sell its monitoring technology.

...The company has recruited a heavyweight board, including David Dorman, the former boss of AT&T...
This involves software a 3rd-party is installing inside your ISP to collect information from your data.

It doesn't matter to me that Hitwise isn't an advertiser. It's not the ads that are so offensive, it's the non-optional spying!
