TV Junkie: Wednesday

Carlin on CampusGood news, you may continue to watch as much online porn as you want without your broadband provider building that into your profile - that is, only if you are using Charter Communications. After announcing 6 weeks ago that they would start to monitor their customers' activity in order to sell target profiles to advertisers, Charter is backing away from that position after running into protests from Congress as well as consumer groups. Perhaps Charter is doing this to differentiate itself from other broadband providers who still plan to gather profiling data - as they are the #4 provider, this could be a way for them to gain market share.
