Why would something thing that the tracking technology is being used to improve user technology? That isn't what it is being used for at all. The so-called "business applications" are for companies to make money selling the data that has been collected through tracking, and for obnoxious businesses to use the information for target marketing.

And then of course, there are the much darker uses governments and other "security" institutions are secretly using the technology for too.

kat--I have AT&T Broadband, I've asked, and they have refused to give me the information.

BTW, AT&T Broadband (and Direct TV) are also major players in the on-line, cable, and satellite porn industry.
