I think I've talked already few times about this problems but I don't see anything happening ... actually, it's getting worst and worst.

Who Is Directly Affected And Is Wasting Money

• Companies paying for Online Advertisement
• Companies selling online
• Companies providing online services

Who Is Responsible

• every service that is addressing users through their current IP address, without asking permission, and assuming if you travel to any country in this world you automatically speak that country language
• every service that completely ignores Accept-Language on the server side, and navigator.language on the client side

If I choose the English language and I search for O2 DSL, imagining I'd like to sign for a contract, or need some help, this is the result:
