Those sound like euphemisms for click fraud and out-of-region video streaming.

Subject: [AFMUG] Is it common to share IPs with outside companies?

 

I just became aware of a company that pays to tunnel into your network and use 
your IPs to send their internet traffic. They then sell their access into your 
system for "competitive market research, QoE for large companies, and ad 
verification products." 

Their service sounds like an ideal platform from which to launch social media 
campaigns or DDoS attacks (they don't mention that in the glossy brochure.) Is 
this sort of thing used by anyone here? If so, how do you know what they are 
doing with your IPs?
