Hotspots using DPI (Deep Packet Inspection)
http://j.mp/HqpLjf (New York Times)
"After some sleuthing, Mr. Watt, who has a background in developing Web
advertising tools, realized that the quirk was not confined to his
site. The hotel's Internet service was secretly injecting lines of
code into every page he visited, code that could allow it to insert
ads into any Web page without the knowledge of the site visitor or the
page's creator."
