Here's How the Ad-Blocking Debate Just Collided With Net Neutrality in Europe
http://fortune.com/2016/02/19/three-network-ad-blocking/?xid=yahoo_fortune Three's planned rollout of network-level ad blocking is interesting, but almost certainly illegal. The mobile carrier group Three is rolling out ad-blocking technology on its networks, starting with trials in the U.K. and Italy. It claims it is doing so because it's unfair that its customers have to pay for the data chewed up by mobile ads. However, it's also trying to get money out of the big ad networks, and the nature of this technology means Three is heading for a clash with regulators over net neutrality. - - - --Lauren-- Lauren Weinstein ([email protected]): http://www.vortex.com/lauren Founder: - Network Neutrality Squad: http://www.nnsquad.org - PRIVACY Forum: http://www.vortex.com/privacy-info Co-Founder: People For Internet Responsibility: http://www.pfir.org/pfir-info Member: ACM Committee on Computers and Public Policy Lauren's Blog: http://lauren.vortex.com Google+: http://google.com/+LaurenWeinstein Twitter: http://twitter.com/laurenweinstein Tel: +1 (818) 225-2800 / Skype: vortex.com I have consulted to Google, but I am not currently doing so -- my opinions expressed here are mine alone. _______________________________________________ pfir mailing list http://lists.pfir.org/mailman/listinfo/pfir
