Re: Time for some new software
I don't have a problem with someone like Google/MSN/Yahoo "tracking" me. It's helping out a resource which I use heavily (in this case, Google).
What I would have a problem with is someone giving me advertisements, tracking me and selling my data - and me seeing nothing in return! Cut my bill! Pro-rate a month! Something!
Google gives me accurate and meaningful results - I'll continue to contribute to that. ISP selling my search results and injecting ads - with nothing in return? The hell with that! |

How about the ISPs not raising your monthly rates, or raising as much as they would need to if they didn't have these additional revenue generators? Seem like a fairly decent return to me. |

Riverhead, NY | It would be....but show me the increased costs which you will be passing on to me, and then show me the percent that the "AdWare" will be reimbursing these costs.
Oh wait...they won't...EVER.... |
