If I was a betting man - backbone providers don't do this (sell to advertisers).
It would be costly to maintain the interception/analysis infrastructure required for such data collection.
I daresay it would cost more than what they would make off the data.
- Goopplesoft 10y agoThats an interesting bet. If they isolated to the subnets they sell off to ISPs (i.e exclude datacenters and such) what do you think would contribute to the cost/benefit difference of the two?
- staticsafe 10y agoThat is still a significant amount of traffic to analyze and store data for. I don't want to speculate further as I don't know what margins for transit providers in NA look like.
