> several major mobile operators intend to deploy ad blockers on their network to put pressure on large mobile ad providers such as Google, Yahoo!, or AOL. They want to protest against what they see as excessive use of their bandwidth by those internet giants
This part seem kind of troubling.
- whoopdedo 11y agoIt also sounds like "the lady doth protest too much." Mobile operators are well known for pushing advertising and tracking to their customers. If they save any bandwidth by blocking Yahoo ads I expect it will be made up for by inserting their own. Oh, that's right, AOL was just bought by Verizon. What a funny coincidence.
