They were also fined and had to stop it. Part of the reason here is
probably because unlike web companies ISP and Telcos are regulated in
most parts of the world.

Yes because I have not seen evidence and certainly not broad evidence
needed to call this a common practice which a lot of people do. I’ve
seen lots of evidence of people abusing HTTP (the once you cite being
one) to invade user privacy. Thus I want my name resolution to go to
my ISP and not to some web server operator I have no relationship
with.

Yes. ISP/Telcos are usually big organisations. DNS mostly is seen as
a network function and thus is within some kind of engineering department.
Engineers have a different mindset on data then say people working in a
marketing department, which usually is where these advertising programs
originate.

So long
