    "My question to them is simple," Briggs said. "Don't you think you have a right to see which IP addresses you were charged for?"

    Well they do have a point.
    Google has this data, why not make it available?

    If i were an advertiser I would want to be able to to verify that the bills Google sends me are indeed correct. Right now it seems that advertisers have no way of doing that?

    But I can see why Google is reluctant, providing this data incurs more costs, and I can imagine that there will be a lot of advertisers who are going to argue with them about their bills.
