Some things are perfectly acceptable under certain circumstances and shockingly bad under other circumstances.
BT (British Telecomm) is under fire for using browser re-direct (the same process you see in the hotel to send guests to a welcome/login page) to sell customers new services. The difference is that for an individual user in a hotel this is an interruption of a few seconds and it's necessary for the hotelier's legal protection. For businesses in the UK, it's neither expected nor minor.
