Now that is something worth our consideration.
Definitely worthy of our consideration. Actually, this is old
news. Similar "experiments" have already been carried out many years
ago by some cable companies. I guess the "experimenting" is kinda
over, and it is time to go mainstream with such shenanigans. The
paranoia mood of the public is now more accepting of such intrusions
into our privacy, or what used to be privacy, now an archaic concept
soon to be relegated to the dustbin of history.
