|  One More ISP to add to the list of ISPs
On a page where Eastern Oregon Net, Inc. (EONI) assures customers that they are "committed to respecting your privacy", their "click here" link for opting out points to http://home.eoni.com/_optOut.cfm and redirects the subscriber's browser to http://www.nebuad.com/privacy/optout.php.
The ISP parade is now EONI, Knology, Bresnan Communications, WOW!, Charter Communications, Embarq, Broadstripe, CenturyTel and Metro Provider. Charter has dropped off of the list.

| And Even One More ISP to add to NebuAd's Harem
High Speed Networks –E50 (HSNe50) with evidence at http://www.hsne50.com/about.html. The URL for the "click here" link is http://www.faireagle.com/faireagle/opt_out.html. FairEagle.com is owned by NebuAd.
I can't say that I've heard of HSNe50, but they say they serve Northern Nevada and appear to be a Wireless ISP. A Google search does show evidence that it is an active operation.

| OnlyInternet.Net uses NebuAd for Behavioral Targeting
OnlyInternet.Net serves Bluffton, Indiana. It appears it is an ISP with ties to SSI, Supernova Systems, Parlor City Internet, Progressive Internet, Decaturnet and Coolsky Internet.
On http://home.onlyinternet.net/support/terms.aspx, the last sentence on the page says:
If you would like to opt out of this, click here.
This link goes to http://www.faireagle.com/faireagle/opt_out.html. FairEagle.com is owned by NebuAd.
[edit: »www.decaturnet.com/support/terms.aspx has the same]
[edit2: and »home.jayco.net/support/terms.aspx has the same ... these 3 are all Supernova Systems]

| SOFTCOM also on the NebuAd gravy train
Northern California ISP SOFTCOM also puts its NebuAd Opt-Out link in its massive Terms of Service.
Someone who didn't carefully read all 70 paragraphs might miss the one-word hyperlink above Section 3, Billing.
That link, anchored to the word "here" points to »www.nebuad.com/company/optout.php.

| 20/20 Communications and NebuAd
Section 22 of 20/20 CommunicationsTOS is about Privacy and Security.
You have no privacy, unless you opt out of having no privacy.
"By opting out you will continue to receive advertisements as normal; except these advertisements will be less relevant and less useful to you. If you would like to opt out, click here or vist [sic] »www.nebuad.com/privacy/servicesPrivacy.php."
Similar text appears here, probably for their non-wireless service. »www.2020comm.net/ww/pp.asp
Any questions?

All I have to say is I wish we (as a society) would put as much effort into curing cancer, childhood obesity, and homelessness, to mane a few, as we do in protecting our computer's cookies, and our IP address.

Hi Fame -- normally I would agree with you, but this stuff breaks the normal rules. None of the above will protect you from this, unless you buy a VPN for Internet Access -- and why do you need to buy a VPN for Internet Access when you're already paying for Internet Access?
If this crap is allowed to continue, the Internet will be a fond memory as we "tune in" to see "what's on."

Google's HTML copy of »https://www.blackfoot.com/pdf/TANDC.pdf mentions NebuAd while the actual PDF no longer does.

I've been updating Wikipedia as I've been finding these, so for my current list, it's probably best to look there.

Re: Blackfoot Telecommunications Group, Inc. Missoula MT Nebuad
Blackfoot tested NebuAd on its internal corporate network, with employees only and not with its customers, in March 2008, but had similar concerns to those raised by consumer groups and elected not to launch the service.
