US Cable companies in the past have injected alerts into unsecured sites users browsed, to tell them they're running out of data. If they could do that, they could inject ads too. US Mobile companies inject identification headers in unsecured HTTP calls, for advertiser tracking; and in other cases allow servers to ping the user's IP back to the ISP to get full details of the user (including addresses). The regulatory agents responsible for regulating the cable and mobile companies in the US are right now hellbent on removing net neutrality and are fighting against the consumer. Fat chance of those "basic regulation"s existing or surviving.
