Advertisers will not like it.

This will also give more people an incentive to use adblock software to cut down on the data that comes in. If you're paying by the byte, you'd look for any way to cut down how much gets to your system. Just look at how many ads you can find on most websites. Using adblock with Firefox reallycuts it down - it gets blocked before it can download. This will not make the advertisers happy. Even so, I have no idea how much comes through anyway, and tools to measure aren't exactly simple to use.

Traditionally, unless the site is that image heavy or all of the ads are text, the ads usually end up wasting 700KB or so of bandwidth a page load. The video ones can chew up 4+ megabytes.
