Telco folks -- need some help with a term called "Coloring"

I recall having a discussion with someone over the last few years about a what is called coloring of data or traffic.

Essentially this would involve an ISP or a mobile phone provider filtering and more importanly altering well known packets / data streams to insert their messages.

A potential application was a search on google via your 3G phone might be altered slightly (with or without approval from google) by the ISP or telco to insert their own advertisement or sponsored result.

Does anyone have a source or pointer where I could research this?
