Do they actually have any authority to tell ISPs what to do? It sounds like they are just discouraging the practice?

I'm not sure if there's much they can do about it.

So long as there's money to be made from it (and I bet its a ton), I can't see ISP's changing back.

Open DNS does that shit too--no redirect but sometimes to a page with ads
