> ISPs do not inject malware Not taking a side on this thread, but just want to point out that Comcast literally has a patent describing just such a mechanism.

  From said patent: > including weather, emergency broadcast, and police stations These seem like reasonable uses of this technology. My ISP has tried to inject a copyright violation notice before. (This was hilarious, actually, because it went to a guest in my house's browser, not one of mine, and I almost didn't hear about it at all, because they only sent it that way once... and I had to ask them to send me an actual letter about it with the details, which would've been the straightforward way to tell me in the first place...) Irritations with copyright holders aside, that was a notification of a mark against my account, which is arguably information that needed to be delivered to me. Meanwhile, Google is preserving their ability to send phishing sites unimpeded.
