http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?...BUG9VJHB9C1.DTL The new policy states that: 1. AT&T (not the customers) owns customers' confidential information and can use it however they want. 2. AT&T will track the viewing habits of it's new video/TV service (something that cable and satellite providers are prohibited from doing). 3. AT&T requires you to agree to the new privacy policy or have your accounts canceled. |

QUOTE (impala454 @ Jun 22 2006, 08:47 AM) i didn't know cable companies couldn't track what you watch... how do they come up with tv show ratings and crap then? they hire independent companies to do polling. Alot of these companies give a voluntary device to hook up to your tv to monitor what is being watched. |
