AT&T Hotspots: Now with Advertising Injection
http://webpolicy.org/2015/08/25/att-hotspots-now-with-advertising-injection/
Curious, and waiting on a delayed flight, I started poking
through web source. It took little time to spot the culprit:
AT&T's wifi hotspot was tampering with HTTP traffic. The ad
injection platform appears to be a service from RaGaPa, a small
startup. Their video pitch features "MONETIZE YOUR NETWORK" over
cascading dollar signs. (Seriously.)
