I cant believe this .. http://www.iprental.com

Looks like anonymizer combined with what looks almost like a rent a
botnet, legit nodes (you sign up to download a client that makes you
part of this botnet, etc)

Speaking of a commercial botnet, there was something similar
earlier - but that was a download this bulk mailer type operation,
guys called Atriks, who got tracked so extensively by spamhaus that
they seem to have kind of disappeared now.

I watched the 'Demo Video' and the addresses shown were from ATT and Comcast space.  Any idea of  what space they might

J.Random ADSL / cable space I dare say.  Though what said cable / adsl
SPs would have to say about reselling of service is an AUP violation
is anybody's guess :)
