Rogers, a meddling IAP

Rogers is a large Canadian IAP ( Internet Access Provider). They have
got Google hot under the collar, and presumably others my inserting
content into web pages of third parties, e.g. Google.

If they want to insert content (ads, billing notices, warnings of
limits etc), they should run some little RSS program on the desktop
that users can turn off if they want.

I think this should be smacked down.  It is like letting a dandelion
get a foothold on your lawn.

The other problem is this sort of meddling could interfere with Java
Applets or Apps that appear to be exchanging web pages, but are really
exchanging carefully formatted data.  The inserted content could
confuse the programs.
