If I publish a web page, who are you to modify it before displaying it
to a user? I'd start getting annoyed if my web page displayed differently depending on whose network it flows thru.... I also feel that this is a bad idea in general because I think it could end up weakening the 'safe harbor' provisions that protect us from liability over data content. We are not censors. Beyond the monitoring needed to assure network integrity, we do not monitor or censor our users in any way and we do not plan to. IMO, we should not modify the data flowing to the user in any way without the express, informed consent of the user. If a user wants you to censor, modify or block pages, fine.... if you wish to offer that service. For liability reasons, we choose not to.

You've built a highway (your wireless network) and people (your customers) pay to drive on it. Along the way there are billboard advertisements (web ads.) You collect nothing from the billboards that people view. In essence, the advertisers get a free lunch from your highway. Adzilla basically gives you the opportunity to place your own billboards in front of those existing billboards so that you, as the highway operator, can receive a revenue share. Mark, I don't mean to pick on you here and I apologize if my replies come off as arrogant or inappropriate in any way. I appreciate your questioning and "devil's advocate" approach. These lists are certainly good for digging through the facts. Peter R. sent an email for those interested in participating in a webinar. Also, an Adzilla exec will be at WISPNOG.
