the issue is, does the webserver compress the content for you?

If not, someone (e.g. the ISP) has to download uncompressed content and to
compress it for clients, so they don't have to pay for expensive connection,
but that someone (ISP) has to pay for the CPU time spent, and will probably
earn less because people will buy slower bandwidth.

Of course, it's completely up to the ISP if they get payed for compressing
browser content, or are making it s competitive advantage.

However, someone must also pay for squid development, or buy some afaik
already existin data compressing solutions...
