I got curious about this issue, and did a little digging into what's going on here. It turns out that the FCC is looking into this problem at EPIC's request.
EPIC filed a petition for rulemaking on this subject with the FCC - which went out for public comment at the end of the year. The petition itself contains copious material about the practices and methods - which you can download. Use the FCC ECFS template: http://gullfoss2.fcc.gov/prod/ecfs/comsrch_v2.cgi and enter "RM-11277" without the quotes, and click on Retrieve Document List. I found both the original petition and the replies from service providers fascinating. -- Joseph Adler -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Perry E.
