If ISPs want to profile their customers' data and they are so sure that customers are happy to allow this in return for targetted adverts, why not release Webwise as a browser add-on and allow people to download it.
Instead of installing a Webwise proxy in an ISP (and paying the ISP), they could simply set up a webwise proxy server on the internet, register a suitable domain name eg "MoreRelevantAdverts.com" and inform customers how to set up a proxy in the browsers they (claim) to support - port 666 might be a good choice
