GeePrime writes "Lauren Weinstein writes in her blog to tell us about the latest net neutrality "shenanigans" from Canadian ISP, Rogers Cable. Rogers is infamous for throttling bit torrent traffic, even going as far as to throttle all encrypted traffic, as speculated by some users. That all seems dull by comparison to their newest trick. Scheduled to release next quarter, will insert a notification onto unaffiliated unencrypted web pages notifying users that they may have reached their cap. (Pages served via https remain unaffected). While this may not be so bad, how long would it take for them to realize that there is profit to be made by selling ad space, especially when the ad is displayed on any page served via http? How long will it take for other ISPs to adopt this technology?"
