First - When was the last time you read a popup? Hell, who doesn't have a popup blocker now? Second - This is not information - "Cable companies could make this page so slow, it would still be loading..." How? Why? What is this about? There is no information there. On top of that, many ISP's already are (people are familiar with throttling regarding their mobile data plan) so this doesn't even say that anything is changing.

Hell, who doesn't have a popup blocker now? Again: the vast majority of people. Taking things that techies do and extrapolating to the internet population at large never ends well.

  Most browsers ship with popup blockers, and they're on by default.

    Popup blockers typically don't block pop-overs (in-page HTML elements).
