Legislators have recently jumped on the bandwagon to protect Internet consumers from being sold out by their ISPs. Several advertising companies have been paying ISPs to release detailed information about their consumers as to their demographics, Internet habits, and any other consumer information. Congress doesn’t like and they are doing something about it. When you agree to sign up for your ISP, make sure that you aren’t giving them “carte blanche” to give out your information to make them more money and fill your life with frustration of pop-ups and spam.
