Re: No way, not here...

Wasn't Nebuad's downfall due to the questionable legality of DPI itself? How would ISPs escape the same fate?
NebuAD's downfall was that their opt-out system never quite worked, potentially violating wiretap laws and they lacked the funds to lobby effectively or defend themselves.

AT&T and Verizon have some of the most powerful lobbying operations and lawyers in DC, and are already pushing a "voluntary" privacy code that requires customers opt-in, instead of opt-out:

»Verizon: Public Shame Will Keep Us Honest About Privacy

Once they get Congress to sign off on this, I'm guessing they themselves become the behavioral ad vendors...

How do you Opt-in the Website Owners, look at all those Copyright Notices etc? (It's call Intellectual Property!)
And how do you Opt-in some Customers & make sure none of the others go anywhere near the DPI Kit.

This is where these Systems become uneconomic because the ISP then has to have totally separate IP ranges for each etc.

{To make it worse once any Website knows the IP range & objects to their data being "scraped" a Block is placed on the IP range!}

The Real problem is the WWW is a Global Communication Network & it affects other Nations & other Laws which cannot be Lobbied or Catered for by the US, UK , EU etc alone!
