A small Illinois Internet Service Provider has accused the local Time Warner Cable outlet of refusing to carry its advertisements because the ISP competes with AOL-Time Warner.
Main-Net owner David Greenlee of Urbana told the Dayton Business Journal that a Time Warner rep had acknowledged that the spot was yanked because of an internal policy not to air ads to ISPs. Nevertheless a spokesman for the FTC said that the matter is not an anti-trust issue. "No one can force someone to run a particular advertisement," the FTC's Eric London said.
