Re: Inferring a bit too far
"Strangely the net neutrality crowd have gonebeen very quiet" What Andrew should of said.
The Shine product hit the market last year.

And EE talked about doing what Three have announced.
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2015/11/23/ee_plans_to_block_annoying_ads_on_mobile_network/
So whilst the Three story has only broken today, the idea, the desire and the ability for ISPs to implement ad-blocking has been public knowledge for a while. So it is correct to ask why no one has come forward to defend the ad networks. I suspect it is because net neutrality is really all about protecting the content that users take a positive action to receive: I visit Netflix to access NetFlix content not for the ad's.
