And what do you think they are doing now?!? They have NO need to own your internet pipe in order to see your internet habits. Nothing you do on the internet (even through proxies) is truly hidden; I've seen some of the most 'lightweight' tools the NSA and MIL folks use, and even those don't know the meaning of 'closed doors'.
Your "data" is being mined by a whole bunch of folks in addition to Google - and unless you COMPLETELY disconnect from the net, you are NOT going to change that. The net no longer makes it
harder to mine your data, it actually makes it
easier. Do just a tiny bit of research - you'll be amazed at the least; scared or paranoid if you are inclined to such. Besides, Google mining your data is pure innocence compared to some of the nefarious 'miners' on the net.
