If this is in fact "optional", it still doesnt change things that much...Fact is that almost all surfers would prolly choose to turn off popups if they had a choice, and earthlink is making it very easy and affordable(its free) for the surfer to do so
If every new TV came equipped with a new program that would cut out all commercials with a switch of a button, that would effectively kill free programming(ABC, NBC, FOX)
what earthlink is doing is along the same lines...First its popups, then it will be banners, and who knows what else. This is a step in the wrong direction.
Now the good news is that it is my guess that earthlink will prolly be sued over this because they are altering the content of the websites by removing the popups...
