Charter Communications VS Privacy

Don't know if this made it outside of Connecticut but the local cable company - which like most bundles high speed Internet, phone and cable TV to subscribers - has been called to task by Attorney General Blumenthal for tracking the usage of subscribers when they use the Internet.

Charter Communications acknowledged it was doing so to help advertisers better understand the habits of subscribers and thus be able to provide more targeted products for them. Local users of Charter were up in arms and felt that there privacy was being invaded. One person felt that as a very political person he didn't want any of the sites or blogs that he visited made public to any one else.

Charter Communications has stopped the pilot program.
