ADpocalypse NOW: Three raises the stakes

Luiz Abdala

Am I paying for ads?

I have a 2GB monthly mobile access plan. I wouldn't be surprised if all the ads loaded made up 50% or more of the traffic that I wanted to see on the pages.

If I go beyond 2GB, the bandwidth is cut, or the whole web access is blocked altogether, unless I pay more for it.

If they can identify the bandwidth consumed by the ad, they can charge the marketer, and NOT THE CONSUMER, for said ad. But not block it entirely.

And I get my whole 2GB monthly limit consumed only on stuff that I wanted to see, even if the raw traffic flow was larger. Does it makes sense now?
