    As far as directing and injecting ads, http://www.frontporch.com has had the
    technology since 1998.  They've recently redone their site I'm not sure how
    many ISP customers they have right now as the site is pretty vague.

    It most certainly does. How do you know that they aren't already? They
    probably aren't though, because as of 6 months ago, none of the major
    players had the ability to insert content into requests. (more on this
    later).
