Charter comm. is doing the smae thing. ____ If I understand this PR correctly, it looks like the Broadband ISP's will be able to control "redirct" a lot of traffic that has never really been in their control before. (not promoting this company or service...just find it an interesting development). http://news.thomasnet.com/fullstory/519554/2585 Best, Dan Posted by: Dan | June 07, 2007 at 11:37 AM Hi Again...A follow up to my last comment. I almost never use IE and use Firefox on a daily basis. I just typed in keywords without any extention and it looks like my broadband provider (Charter) has taken over IE... as it goes to its own results listing pages. It look like they give you a choice for this: http://aaplstockquote.com/charter.jpg Firefox...still just redirects you to the number listing on Google for whatever term you puch into their browsers. I image this will/could change because of these ISP. Looks like...this could have a very big effect on the amount of "type in" traffic depending on what browser prople are using. Sure a big difference in the way these browsers are currently controling traffic and I am sure this is a battle thats just going to get more intense. Best, Dan <blockquote> Frank Michlick: Dan, I think many ISPs are starting to do this and at a recent ISPCon (ISP conference) I attended there were two companies offering this "service". Thank you for your comments. Cox is another example.</blockquote> Hi,

Firefox…still just redirects you to the number listing on Google for whatever term you puch into their browsers. I image this will/could change because of these ISP.

Looks like…this could have a very big effect on the amount of “type in” traffic depending on what browser prople are using.

Sure a big difference in the way these browsers are currently controling traffic and I am sure this is a battle thats just going to get more intense.
