Selling out the customers
My internet provider (AT&T) whom I pay $45 a month for my service seems to want to sell me out to spammers and telemarketers.. I am pretty mad..
Read more about this in the post I made on dslreports.com
If the business model is not viable to survive at current subscription rates.. raise the rate.. don't sell out the customers!

Personally, I haven't checked the email account provided by my ISP in over 6 months, so if they want to sell my name to spammers they can pay for the hard drive space to keep the spam.
For those who live in CT, you can add your name to this list, effectively giving the finger to telemarketers:

As for the ethical issues of selling your information, well, I consider it yet another motivation to set up orbital colonies.
