Cable TV viewers in the US will soon be giving more than just monthly subscriptions to their cable companies, as new set-top boxes are sold which can tell exactly what a viewer has been watching.
MediaOne is trialling the new system in Detroit. Tracking information on viewing preferences is sent back to a massive database kept by the cable company. The company says it is then stripped of private information like names and addresses before being sold to advertisers.
