Re: Stop mentioning video downloads.

So if I go to www.nytimes.com and when I opened it up there was an EHarmony and Starbucks ad on the page. Those are advirtisements and I bet NY Times was paid for it being on their web page. The amount of data that sent to me was tiny, yet it would be a cost if I were on metered billing. No ad blocker is going to stop that "ad" from being on the websites primary page.

In almost all cases, those ads would be blocked. Very few ads are actually served up from the primary site you are going to. Most are served up by 3rd party ad farms and are linked to from the main web page and not actually served from the main web pages web site.

You bring up a very good point, ISP's are going to have to
defend unwarranted charges, even from inside there online
email clients, I think that's one reason they have yet to make
a all out effort to meter us.

Because no one can be forced to pay for adds that they do not
request. I also believe as we look back one day the internet as we
knew it will have been far more affordable and fair then what are
kids will ever experience one day. unless we stand up now

Far smarter people then me need to start organizing and planing a
way of keeping the internet open and fair, for when the big 3 isp's
try and take it over, remember they are not the internet, WE are the
internet and always well be. they are just a monopolized way in.
