"Obviously" is a very strong word for what is pretty much your opinion. As the system was designed browsers are an agent of the user, not of the web servers or the ad businesses. If you want guaranteed ad impressions and control go make iPhone apps. Taking an open system such as the web and forcefully closing it up using overwhelming monopoly power like Google is doing is not only disgusting but also incredibly anti-competitive. > At the end of the day, even if WEI is implemented it wouldn’t necessarily get rid of an open web as it’s entirely optional. For now. "Entirely optional" can be stretched very far. If you were banned from AdSense revenue and from appearing in search unless you enforced this, it would still be "entirely optional" but also pretty much trash your site unless you complied.
