   They're not hijacking HTTPS.  They're hijacking DNS.  If the user types 
"https://www.example.com/", gets the page for the ISP, and doesn't get a 
warning then there must be a root certificate in the browser that the ISP 
uses to generate certificates on the fly.  I doubt this is happening.  I 
suspect the user is getting a warning.
