Re: Anyone know if this news is true ? Airtel spying ...

IMO, it is "Web Adulterant" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adulterant.
copyright violation does not applicable here because they (Airtel) are not
publishing their (Google/Yahoo) content somewhere else. They are
altering/mixing their data streams. This is highly unethical and companies
those who do so should be fined heavily. Infact companies like google/yahoo
must file some legal case on these Internet carriers (airtel etc).

Google adding/injecting script on their domain pages is much much different
than somebody else doing so with google's pages.
its like pizza make adding some extra stuff is different than delivery boy
adding some extra stuff over your pizza.
