    Internet provider serves customers unwanted advertising

    Posted on Friday, June 29 2007 @ 09:30:29 CEST by Thomas De Maesschalck


    Tech Crunch reports about a Texan internet service provider called Redmoon which implemented software to insert ads into pages visited by its customers:
    Every single web site owner is affected by NebuAD’s technology: whether a site is running ads or not makes no difference, Customers of any ISP evil enough to run NebuAD’s platform are going to see ads on every page on every site; ads that don’t benefit the content creator. It is important to note that these ads are NOT pop-ups, and this is not a free internet service; the ads are served as if they were part of the page, to paying internet customers who are NOT made aware that these ads have been inserted by their ISP.
    Lets hope this kind of abuse doesn't spread to other internet providers.
