Submission + - Is your ISP inserting ads into web pages? (digg.com)

Submitted by

TheWoozle writes: "Apparently, some ISPs are resorting to a new tatic to increase revenue: inserting advertisements into web pages requested by their end users. They use a transparent web proxy (such as this device) to insert javascript and/or HTML with the ads into pages returned to users. Neither the content provides nor the end-users have been notified that this is taking place, and I'm sure that they weren't asked for permission either. Changing ISPs is obviously a solution for now...but how long before all ISPs implement something like this?"
