[dns-operations] "EarthLink Criticized for DNS Redirects"

[Rick Wesson]

there are a number of start-ups building appliances to sell to the SPs 
to provide advertising revenue( a la site-finder ) and one selling point 
is providing some anti-phishing/security features.

make no mistake the VC chasing these appliance plays are all about 
advertising revenue not bettering the Internet at large.
