ISP Advertising
So some ISPs that I shall not name have started using a transparent HTTP proxy to replace/inject advertising into the webpages that their users are accessing.

This means that they are watching what their users are viewing, intercepting the traffic and adding more (and unauthorized) advertising to the web pages that their users are reading.
