Malcontent ISPs

The only bunch of lunatics are the ISPs. They have oversold their services to customers, and the market
is so competitive they fear increasing prices. (iPlayer piling on the pressure on worried ISPs).

So they want to sell their customers' privacy to spyware vendors instead. Using what value proposition? Simply steal valuable content from the content creators - smart plan. Or at least, it would be if you could get away with it.

When ISPs start stealing and abusing content to entice people away to competitors, content providers will start getting annoyed. When that happens, you will see net neutrality has two sides. Not to mention commercial and legal disputes.
